If you think Walmart hasn't done its fair share of shady business to become where it is today then you are oblivious.

Good thing I don't think that, then. Yes, many corporation do bad things, just as many people do bad things. They can be corrupt, they can make mistakes, they even break laws sometimes if they think they can get away with it. But at the end of the day, their employees have a job and their customers can buy useful products at affordable prices. Look me straight in the eye and tell me that's not a good thing.

To get anywhere you have to be ruthless and cut throat to succeed.

Exactly. To succeed in business you must constantly strive to provide better products at cheaper prices than your competitors, and if they can't compete, then tough luck! Wait a sec... better products at cheaper prices? That sounds like it could be helpful to people! Damn those evil companies, ruthlessly trying to out-help each other!

You have to not care about the other guy.

You're not going to get very far if you don't care about your customers. Or your employees. Or your shareholders. In fact, it's not enough to merely care about them; you have to actually provide a tangible benefit to them. If you don't help all of these people, you're out of business. It's as simple as that.

I meant to get them started with a small business or something along those lines. Give them the chance to earn it. It's almost impossible to start up a legit successful company from zero. It takes money to make money.

That's actually exactly what rich people usually do with most of their money (if you think they spend most or even a significant fraction of it on mansions and fast cars, you're mistaken). They invest their money in promising businesses, giving these businesses the capital they need to get up and running, and in return the investor receives a share of the business's future profits. A new business is formed, the business owner makes money, the investor makes money, the business's employees make money; it's win-win.
