Wal-Mart Fortune Left To Charity

Friday, May 4, 2007

The death of the Wal-Mart founder's widow, Helen Walton, is slated to become a $16.4 billion windfall for The Walton Family Foundation, a charitable organization that backs public education reform. What do you think?

Lacey Rasmussen,
Systems Analyst
"Helen Walton leaving her fortune to the Walton Family Foundation? This stinks of nepotism."

Brendan Flaherty,
Concierge
"This mom-and-pop public education operation has been around long enough."

Larry Keenan,
Grocer
"On the one hand, I don't care for Wal-Mart. On the other hand, I don't care for public education. So this rich dead lady is really starting to piss me off."
