The Wealth Creators

Via John Robb's blog comes this link to a NY Times article on America's richest entrepreneurs. The graphical interface that they've put together to exhibit these men's fortunes is very cool.

Robb titles his post linking to the Times as "Rogues list of wealthiest Americans". The use of the word rogue to describe these men is typical anti-market claptrap. It's surprising that, Robb, an entrepreneur himself would apply a term to these men who created jobs, wealth and products that improved people's lives as rogues. I'd much rather see a list of these men (most of whom I've never heard of) on a school bulletin board than the true rogues gallery of politicians who are prominently held up as heroes in schools across America.
