Mitt Romney has a Koch problem

As Mitt Romney headed to oil magnate and 1% icon David Koch's beachside estate in the Hamptons for a $50,000-a-plate fundraiser, activists exposed Romney's Koch problem: Romney wants to lay off teachers and firefighters to pay for more tax privileges for billionaires like the Koch brothers.
