A reference to one of the hall of fame Robber Barons does seem pretty apt right now..

At least they built libraries, cultural centers and the occasional university.

Give the current crop a chance to realise their mortality and want to secure a better legacy than 'took all the money'.

Did Carnegie try to overthrow a democracy and believe in monarchism?
