"Wealth" is relative term and a lot is in the eye of the beholder. To me Kennedy, Gates, and Buffett are wealthy. The Rodhams had enough to satisfy their needs--which in this case included sending their daughter to college and law school, but they weren't "rich" in the sense I'm using it. I guess what I most object to in your message about Hillary is the term "silver spoon". To me, that term is used for someone who doesn't have to work to meet expectations and maximize their potential. Hillary was never like that. She studiously applied herself and took on all kinds of responsibilities in high School and college. She questioned and read much. Did the Rodhams have enough money so that Hillary could achieve? Yes. Did she have to work for it and apply herself? Yes.
