Any family whose sons and daughters hold elected offuce could be called “ new money”

Old money understood that politicians are to be bought, not bred


So . . . Jay Rockefeller is "New Money"?

As long as being a senator or a governor of NY was like a charitable hobby where you could give away other people’s money to the poor , guess the old line had to swallow young people breaking with tradition

But never on the level of those grubbing lace curtain Irish grifters, the Kennedys, who were still living in cottages and growing potatoes and running rum a mere 4 -5 generations ago
