I managed a Sam's Club a few years back, and I met Sam Walton and few times. I never felt anything but gratfulness that he was a billionaire and used his $$ and talent to provide the opportunity for me to do more for my family at that time. If he had still only had a little Ben Franklin store, it sure would not have benefited me. If you are given the opportunity to better your lot in life ,by a talented individual, and reach goals that you may only dream of, why in this or any other world would you care what he makes! If the people that complain about someone's success controlled things, there would be no Ford, Walmart, Sears, Penney's, Microsoft, Dell, and the list goes on.....check the tax coffers and unemployment figures without these guys....and there employees.... Something is wrong here!….It’s OK for someone to win the lottery for 400 million for doing nothing but risking a buck,
