Is anyone surprised that the Koch brothers ended up at the top of this ranking of 20 billionaires?
Good that there are almost 500 billionaires in the U.S., so we do not depend on those 20 selected by the Brookings Institution.
Good that that the group of billionaires is not a static group. Billionaires come and go especially in the U.S. as long as our politicians do not ruin free markets and individual freedom and responsibility any further. A tall order in the age of President Obama and Senate leader Reid!
The ranking is most likely questionable. Just look at Rupert Murdoch who, according to Brookings, does not directly spend his money on elections etc., but he was ranked no. 6.
