The Buffetts crack me up. You have Warren in Omaha and his son and heir-apparent in Decatur. Talk about being unaffected.

the American aristocracy: dukes, marquis, counts/earls, barons and so on.

not nearly enough influence among these 50 individuals, so says Marquis Griffin

Looks like Ken needs to layoff a few more workers and lower the pay of others to catch up.

You got it backwards Pool Guy!
First you get politically connected, and become a member of the ruling class - then the bucks roll in!

Look at Harry Reid, Bill Clinton and others who used being a member of the elected ruling class to end up as multi-millionaires!

Those folks are the new aristocracy. Aristocrats were friends of Kings and Queens. In the US, they are Democrats and Republicans with connections.
