Letters to the editor on the fraud of the Koch myth, but guess what? There is *no* voter fraud

Koch brothers are disconnected from working class

The Wichita Eagle

Workers try to keep roofs over their heads& and food on their tables

Most people understand that Charles Koch took the company his father founded to levels his dad could only have dreamed of, benefiting not only the Koch family but also this community. 

Like most reasonable people, I don’t begrudge him his success and I wish him many more years of the same.

But, where people like me, just punch-a-clock working stiffs trying to keep a roof over our heads, part company with guys like Koch is when they say they want to do a better job of raising up the disadvantaged and poorest in this country while in the same breath railing against the minimum wage because it “reduces the mobility of labor” (“Charles Koch to launch Wichita ad campaign,” July 10 Eagle). This is where the disconnect on Koch’s part starts and the working class’ resentment of him begins.

Surely Koch realizes that, out of desperation, a man will work for little or nothing, dragging his standard of living down and taking every workingman or woman with him. The minimum wage was created to put a “floor” under which wages could not go, so one could keep life and limb alive. One only need look around the world to see how big business exploits that desperation every day.

And you’ll have to forgive the few of us who still have a job who are confused at the Koch’s assertion that U.S. economic freedom is in decline and an avalanche of regulation is bad, while his company and many like them, keep getting richer, and we keep getting poorer.  From Kathleen Butler, Wichita
