Exile the Waltons!

I twittered this idea.

I think we ought to take the three Walton heirs and exile them to the island of St. Helena.

Then we redistribute their wealth the bottom third demographic, doubling their net worth in one move.

Hey, I'm not advocating we hurt the Waltons or anything.  Just send them to where Napoleon spent his last years.  They can live in luxury. 

Arguably, they've done as much to harm the general populace.

We could give them 25 million each, you know, minimum wage for billionaires.

So old Sam had procreative sex three times.  Otherwise, the money might have been left to his cats, who had about as much to do with it as his kids.

It's for the greater good!  3 versus 150 million!

We stick them on the island and then forget about it, pretend it never happened.

Too much?

Better than my previous position on the subject, which was:  Eat The Rich!

UPDATE:  I'm sorry.  Sam had procreative sex Six times.  All the better, they can keep each other company.

Like it, or not, WalMart has created a great deal of wealth for millions of Americans. There no doubt are costs to that, but many have benefitted beyond the Walton family. And yes, too far :)
