So enjoy learning more about the history of our great country. Over the last few years I've learned quite lot about John D Rockefeller. What I've learned has greatly changed my early understanding of him. He was often looked at as a Robber Baron, he was anything but. Yes he was a very wealthy man, he also gave away half of what he made. His innovation help build and strengthen the middle class family. He also made things easier for the poor, providing low cost energy so they could heat their homes. He also loved nature and spent a lot of time enjoying it. When many corporations of his age were dumping waist into the environment, he refused to do the same. He encouraged innovation, developing a use for all the materials his manufacturing produced. So there would be no waist to pollute what he loved. He never experienced a labor dispute because he always paid his workers a fair wage. He cared about people and would often invite total strangers to hos outdoor parties by the beach. He may have been very wealth but he spent much of it to enrich the lives of others. Enjoy the housed, enjoy the history.
