Think of Athens under Pericles -- only citizens and slaves.  In our society 
old money with a certain cultural attitude can bring about status and power, 
that can be in no other way be earned.

The backgrounds of the McCains, the Bushs, the Kennedys, the Roosevelts; the 
Rockefellers; are more similar than dis-similar.  And, just making money, 
just being 'rich' can never, by itself, get you into that club. 

 Bill Clinton has been struggling mightily, without great result, to join 
that club.  This is  the stuff of which conspiracy theories are woven.  The 
reality is much less complicated. ...bobford
