Wal-Mart's Walton family, the Wal-Martons, is a monument to greed and inhumanity, the personification of "selfish." There are those who are scoffing at these protests. Why scoff? Pushing back is just as American (more American?) as corporate greed.
Some people say the Wal-Martons have earned their right to be filthy rich and detached, to control their wealth any way they want. "Their right" ... an overused and misused expression. A throwaway term. Who granted the Wal-Martons this right? No, they did not earn it all by themselves.
I view the Wal-Martons as thieves no less conniving than Dick Cheney. Americans become gullible in matters of wealth and fame, other people's wealth and fame, that is. These workers are smart and bold, and not fooled in the least by wolves claiming to be sheep.
