Beyond the enormous wealth disparity, the oligarchs of the Gilded Age left us beautiful art museums, libraries, and theaters.
Today’s greedy billionaires are only interested in the selfish accumulation of personal wealth - an egomaniacal race to see who will become the world’s first trillionaire.

FACT CHECK: Walmart's Thanksgiving meal is cheaper because it has 6 fewer items, no fresh products, & a greater percentage of the "Great Value" brand compared to last year.
