Worthy of what? Worthy of the capital they control? It depends. Do Dell, Gates, and Allen deserve their billions for their contribution to the computer industries? Or do the Walton's deserve the Father's wealth he created from Wal-Mart? And do any of the controversies over how they gained their wealth have any play in their worthiness of it? Yes/No? It doesn't matter. They have it whether we think they are worthy or not.

Worthy?! Why would anybody be worthy of the gifts of the world? Why would anyone be more worthy than another? Better yet why would you begrudge some one a gift? Like crabs in a bucket, as soon as one crab gets to the brink of getting out another crab pulls him back down.
