Priorities
To the editor:
The Lawrence Journal-World has reported that David H. Koch has given $23 million to the National Museum of Natural History in New York to update the dinosaur museum exhibit. Well, that is a nice hobby.
However, has he given the same amount for people in Kansas who are homeless, lack health insurance and jobs? After all, the wealth of the very rich is supposed to trickle down to those people. The state and the people could certainly use it.
Come on, now. The money that is gained through tax breaks and other political strategies is not trickling down to those who need it. Does Mr. Koch want his money to go to dead creatures or living people who are struggling?
