the wealthy live in large houses. It was no accident that the Kennedy's had a compound. It is the best way to maintain family wealth.

And that, I have noticed, is one difference between the wealthy, and the rest of us. They take a long term view and do not view wealth as individual as much as they view it as family. THAT is why the emphasis on abolishing the estate tax.
