Only 89.5 billion dollars

89.5 billion dollars -- that's the wealth of  six inheritors of the Walmart empire. It requires all of the wealth of the bottom 41.5 per cent of all American families put together to equal that. The Walmart heirs together with George Soros, Warren Buffet and a few others have a large part of America's wealth. How they use it is what's important.

Would they follow the advice of Andrew Carnegie, one of  our great philanthropists; he used his wealth to create jobs and do great things of the people of the United States. Carnegie, in what has been termed "The Gospel of Wealth,"  spoke about the peril of large sums being passed on to  people or organizations not equipped to handle them.
