Never met him, but if he's anything like the rest of the Waltons then I like him.

FF for being a great American capitalist success story, regardless of what you think about his company.

'Being a great American capitalist success story' is morally neutral*. 'What you think about his company' is the only relevant question.

And yet most Americans would be far better off had Mr. Walton's company not have been such a massive "success" if that's what you call inventing a business model in which the state has to subsidize his employees with welfare payments, food stamps, and Medicaid, because the Waltons won't pay them enough on their own.

Just because you don't like his company doesn't mean you can't like him as a person.
