Reply #22: It's a concept I'm unfamiliar with, therefore, difficult to weigh in...

I know from reading personal accounts of the Kennedy's that there are wealthy families (regardless of how they made their money) who instill the attitude "of those with much, much is expected". I truly believe there are good families with much wealth. I'm thinking currently of the Heinz foundation.

Without this philanthropic attitude, we would not have some great foundations, so you can't just criticize the rich.

Now, what do I think of the NEWLY rich who have never come up by their bootstraps, or simply use (abuse) financial management for THEIR wealth? I think they are piss poor protoplasm most of the time. I see no evidence to the contrary.

Uhmpf!
