The days of corporate greed, robber barrons and poor sheep supporting them seem to be drawing to a close. America and the world are beginning to wake from their slumbering beliefs the rich will eventually show human characteristics and take care of the people.

Yesterday, one of the world’s richest families, the Walton’s, experienced first hand one of the worse loses in their long stories corporate history and many people are thrilled to death over it.
