Salt Lake City, Utah – With $17.5 million each, brothers Charles and David Koch are tied at #24 on Forbes list of the world's richest people. The Koch name is closely associated with arts, science and education philanthropy, and with the political advocacy group Americans for Prosperity. AFP is one of the heavy hitters behind the tea party movement and the group was co-founded by David. Wednesday, we're talking about the Koch family and the part they're playing in the American politics.
