text: The Forbes World's Billionaires List:   Forbes magazine on Monday came out with its annual ranking of the world?Ûªs richest people. Among the top 10 billionaires were three men who have put vast sums into swaying the outcomes of American elections. Charles and David Koch, with fortunes that Forbes?Ûª pegged at $40 Billion each, were the sixth richest people in the world. Las Vegas gambling tycoon Sheldon Adelson came in eighth. The Koch brothers and Adelson have played growing roles in bankrolling favored politicians since the Supreme Court in 2010 struck down limits on campaign spending. ?ÛÏBecause of this disastrous Supreme Court decision in Citizens United, a bad situation?ÛÓand it?Ûªs been bad for a while?ÛÓhas become much worse,?Û? Sen. Bernie Sanders said in an Truthdig interview.  Sanders also talked about how big money controls Congress. ?ÛÏDespite the fact that we have a collapsing middle class, more people living in poverty than at any time during our history, and the gap between the very, very rich and everyone else growing wider, it is very hard for me to imagine significant legislation being passed that Wall Street and the big money interests don?Ûªt want,?Û? the senator told Truthdig?Ûªs Alexander Reed Kelly.
