Restricting people's freedom to acquire as much wealth as they want (unless obtained through criminal activity) is immoral and Unamerican, and reeks of the typical jealousy of success exhibited by the Communist liberal/"progressive" left. Family dynasties are Unamerican. You mean like the Kennedys? |

Â* Â*The Rockefellers?- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - What I think he means is, that American Dynasties based on wealth come ominously close to European Dynasties (or any other dynasties in liberty-regressive nations) based on wealth, or power, or inherited status. Ultimately, at their core, is the concept that one family group amasses and maintains potentially undue power over others through whatever means is at their disposal (in this case money and political connection), and this is not at all what the Forefathers had in mind in their Cradle of Liberty. Having said that, I do have a soft spot for the Rockefellers - were it not for very altruistic latter generations of that family, we would have neither Acadia National Park nor the Jackson Hole district of Grand Teton National Park - both near and dear to my heart.

The City of Angels (Los Angeles,California, there is another Los Angeles
in South America too) used to have a fine Trolley Car system many years ago.Along came that damn Rockefella SOB and he had those Trolley Car Rails ripped from the streets of the City of Angels. I have a soft back book here which I bought at the Books A Million Book store on I-55 North Frontage Road a bunch of years ago.That Book is all about the American Trolley Cars with a lot of photos too.Some of those old American built Trolley Cars were sold to South America.They, or some of them, are still running in South America. To HELL with those damn Rockefellars!!! cuhulin |

I proposed no laws restricting anyone's ability to amass a fortune. Family dynasties are Unamerican. You mean like the Kennedys? Exactly. And the Bushes. |
