The DNC released a video Sunday ahead of a Romney fundraiser at the estate of David Koch in the Hamptons Sunday saying that the Koch brothers want something in return for their fundraising efforts — namely, policies like oil subsidies that benefit the wealthy. The Koch-hosted event is one of three fundraisers Romney is set to attend in the Hamptons Sunday.

From the New York Times:

Mr. Romney is expected to pull in $3 million from an event at the Creeks, the estate of Ronald O. Perelman, the billionaire financier and Revlon chairman, where tickets range from $5,000 for lunch to $25,000 for a V.I.P. photo reception. Another will be held at the home of Clifford M. Sobel, an ambassador to Brazil under President George W. Bush, and a final dinner will take place at the Southampton estate of the billionaire industrialist David H. Koch, where the going rate for entry is $75,000 a couple and $50,000 a person.
