The Walton family is a good example as they're one of the richest families in the world and yet have no problem with their employees having to use food stamps or with driving small stores out of business. I've seen it in my work in Haiti, as well, where only 10% of the population has any wealth - and some go so far as to enslave children. I think greed blinds us to the needs of others. Here's a link to show the wealth disparity trend in the US: http://www.motherjones.com/politics/2011/02/income-inequality-in-america-chart-graph.; February 10, 2014 at 5:56 PM
