Very different then the wealthy children of today.

So true! However, there are some very wealthy people in our country who do give back, Bill Gates, for one.

Yes but in political families not so much anymore. They feel they have a duty to public service, not just giving back. Not sure Gates would have volunteered for war, generations of Kennedy’s did. To me they are more like Britain’s Royal Family, where before marriage Harry actually snuck to fight in Iraq despite being warned not to, and William still saves lives as a rescue helicopter pilot, another dangerous job he didn’t have to do.
