If a Koch brothers company offered you a job for 50% more in salary, would you take it?

45. Once upon a time...

I worked as a camera assistant in L.A.

I worked on all sorts of commercials. That was my meat and potatoes.

once in a while, I would get a call from one of the camera operators that I worked with and he would say, "the Europeans are here with their big bag of money".

Which meant they would pay us in cash and pay us very well.

the amount I would make in one week on one of their shoots would equal about what I would make in 3 to 4 months normally.

needless to say it was a massive payday.

Anyway, they would swoop in and we would find out what the product is and off we go.

However, since they still advertise cigarettes (at least they did in the 90's, I don't know about now), I would ask up front.

I can't tell you the amount of shoots I turned down, because I couldn't bring myself to help promote, even as a crew member, something I know causes cancer.

And at times, I really needed that money.

I just couldn't bring myself to do it, no matter how much they paid me.

so as for the poll and the Koch brothers, I would tell them to go fuck themselves with a smile.
