The Law of Accumulation of Wealth


"We are to consider all surplus revenues which come to us simply as trust funds which we are called upon to administer in the manner in which our judgement is best calculated to produce the most beneficial results to the community. Thus a man of wealth becomes a mere agent and trustee for his poorer brethren."

-Andrew Carnegie

Jon Hunstman Sr., a world famous chemicals company owner, has this quote on the wall in his office to remind himself to always consider the less fortunate. After quoting it, Hunstman then listed was his company administers its surplus. (Hunstman Cancer Institute, scholarships, homeless, or to reach out to failing countries).

After my last post, I came across this and though it tied in well with my opinion on professional athletes and how they can contribute. I am not a socialist liberal. I oppose spreading wealth for the sake of spreading wealth. I am a conservative, and believe in responsibility.

In a world full of greed and selfishness, it's nice to see that there are still people of power with integrity and a spirit of giving and responsibility.
