Koch a social liberal

ABC News reports:

Reclusive billionaire David Koch, a powerful donor in American conservative politics, says he's a “social liberal.”

“I'm basically a libertarian, and I'm a conservative on economic matters, and I'm a social liberal,” Koch told ABC News' Barbara Walters during an interview for her special “The 10 Most Fascinating People of 2014″ that airs at 9 .m. ET Sunday on ABC.

Koch, who supports rights and , said he isn't concerned with candidates he supports who don't share some of his views. He said his primary concern when choosing a candidate to support is their fiscal policies.

Koch is demonised by some of the left as he is a major donor to fiscally conservative candidates and causes. He is also one of the world's biggest charitable donors having given over $750 million to cancer , the arts etc. He has also donated $185 million to MIT and $100 million to a hospital.

His beliefs include:

  • Repealing victimless crime laws
  • Gay marriage
  • Legal abortion
  • Stem-cell research
  • Opposes war on drugs

I agree with him on a lot of issues!
