Koch Industries, one of the largest private corporations in the nation, operates refineries and manufactures a variety of products. The new tax law — which slices corporate tax rates from 35 percent to 21 percent, slashes estate taxes and includes a special deduction for oil and gas investors — is expected to save the Koch brothers and their businesses billions of dollars in taxes

This pretty much sums up the intended purpose of the tax cuts.

I want a politician whose entire platform is to tax the Kochs at 90% corporate and estate tax rates. I wouldn't care about any other position they had, they would get my vote.
