Yeah, Standard Oil and U.S. Steel were pretty awesome. Without robber-barons, we would have a dearth of philanthropists.

- MaysonL 15y agoBullshit. Yes, some of the robber-barons were and are philanthropists. But robbing to give it away is not much more moral than robbing to spend it yourself or give it to your heirs. Both are still theft. For examples of modern non-robber philanthropists, see H & P, Buffet, et al.
