Charles Koch agrees with ... Bernie Sanders?

This is an automatic summary, original reduced by 68%.

Despite Mr. Sanders continually pointing to Mr. Koch and his brother David Koch as the epitome of what's wrong with American politics, Koch writes that he agrees that the country's political and economic system is rigged in favor of the privileged few, and he agrees that our criminal justice system needs reform.

"I applaud the senator for giving a voice to many Americans struggling to get ahead in a system too often stacked in favor of the haves," writes Mr. Koch, "But I disagree with his desire to expand the federal government's control over people's lives. This is what built so many barriers to opportunity in the first place."

The Koch brothers, who run Koch Industries, a fossil fuel company headquartered in Wichita, Kan.

The network of conservative billionaires led by the Koch brothers is expected to spend close to $900 million to influence the 2016 presidential campaign, which is as much as each political party is expected to spend on its candidate, reported The New York Times recently, and double the amount the brothers spent on the 2012 elections.

Koch says, like Sanders, he wants to see change too.

"That's why Koch Industries opposes all forms of corporate welfare - even those that benefit us," Koch writes, citing Koch Industries' opposition to ethanol subsidies, despite the fact that their company produces ethanol.
