I do not like the idea that we seem to be developing a political caste.
This is new? John Adams, John Quincy Adams.

Theodore Roosevelt, FDR.

The Kennedy's.

The Browns in CA.

Mayor Alioto's daughter appeared to think she had a divine right to be elected mayor of San Francisco. (The voters thought otherwise.)

Now GB I and GB II.

Inevitably, wealth and fame confer advantages- -for a while. In this country, their influence doesn't seem to be all that lasting. Compare them to British aristocracy, for example. If the worst that can be pointed out is that the influences of wealth and fame last maybe 2 or 3 geneations, we're not doing that badly.
