My, that was a long one.
In re: "The Kennedy fortune was built by Joe running pools"

Actually, it was built in the alcohol industry..bars, then boot legging. There was a bank in there, somewhere.
They sent lil Joe off to Harvard, where he learned how to be a white collar crook, plus the rum-running. He and his cohorts ran the pools, and then contributed big time to the demise of the market by massive shorts during the break down.
So, he added to the fortune, but didn't create it originally.
Oh, yeah, there was that marriage to the mayor of Boston's daughter..they didn't miss a trick.

So the story goes.

Per the history channel, ol' Joe was a Hitler supporter, when he was ambassador to England...that's why he was 'brought home'.
