In Which Zandar Answers Your Burning Questions

Commenter Shalimar at Balloon Juice asks the $200 million question about David Koch:

Why would he donate $200 million for cancer research when he knows he can give $100k to the Republican National Committee and get Republican congresspersons to increase funding by the same amount?

Because the Koch brothers would rather give $100k to get Republicans to reduce taxes on the Kochs and Koch Industries by a lot more than $200 million, frankly.  It's about power.
