  Johnny's Book Reviews- RICH KIDS   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
To Barry’s credit, he always lets Rich and Keeling have the right of reply whenever he publishes accusations directed at the two, however the fact that Rich only ever replies to accusations by stating “that is completely wrong”, only diminishes his image further.
Jodee Rich was so worried about the damage Paul Barry’s book Rich Kids would do to his reputation, he wrote to the Federal Attorney-General Daryl Williams, with the hope of preventing the publication ever reaching the shelves.
According to the Sydney-Morning Herald, although Rich had not read the book himself, he had heard enough about it to not only ask for government intervention, but give its author the what-for in no uncertain terms when their paths crossed at the One-Tel enquiry last year.

 Poor Little Rich Kids
It seems the kids had been discussing their February break vacations, and the client's daughter had made fun of those classmates who had stayed home (as opposed to taking the two-week Caribbean cruise her family had enjoyed).
As a result, they fail to provide their kids with any type of financial education — how to invest, say, or how to use a credit card — or to prepare them for the decisions they may have to make about their fortunes.
Lutz points to the children of one client, all of whom were to inherit $2 million on their 30th birthdays — but only if they could prove they were up to it.

 The Rich Kids - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Rich Kids were a short-lived, much-hyped rock and roll band from London in the late 1970s.
The Rich Kids were amongst the foremost British exponents of the power pop style, blending influences from 1960s acts such as The Small Faces and The Who with more recent hard rock and punk sounds.
They put out one album, Ghosts Of Princes In Towers, and three singles between their existence, from March 1977 to December 1978 (although the official announcement of their disbanding wasn't until mid-1979).

 AlterNet: Poor Little Rich Kids
The kids at the party, by contrast, had grown up believing that they were presiding over the decadent decline of their families, and, without the grit to compete academically with the aspirants and strivers, ended up chasing the depravity sweepstakes.
The rich kids interviewed in "Born Rich" and shown on "Rich Girls" have, far more than any other children I know, a painful awareness of the trajectory of their lives, and the stereotype of their social station.
At the very least, shows like "Born Rich" are good advertisements for a return of the estate tax, which the great philanthropist Andrew Carnegie favored as a spur for the rich to spend their wealth on good works during their lifetimes, rather than lose it to the government.

Maybe if they saw something more like the "rich kid, not stupid" one, they would think, and maybe in the process become a little less stupid and annoying themselves.
Kids can't change where they come from, they can actively criticize (or try to give up!) that privelege.
You may be rich and not stupid, but you can't be rich and not priveleged.

 Kiplinger's Personal Finance Magazine: Unspoiled Little Rich Kids   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
Young kids are just trying to get an idea of where you stand relative to other families, and you can usually satisfy their curiosity with a reply that's vague yet reassuring: "We have enough to buy the things we need and some left over to give away."
And the rich aren't so different from the rest of us in their goals for their children: They want them to have a sense of struggle and accomplishment, an appreciation for what money can and can't buy, and eventually they want them to achieve financial independence.
As kids mature, families are often "very creative and thoughtful," says Judy Barber, starting investment clubs and giving each child several thousand dollars to manage, or even giving kids discretion over a larger trust account, with the help of financial advisers.

Daniel Shorr had a piece on NPR pointing out the core issue of the Bush National Guard episode - the fact that those of privilege had a choice and those not of the upper class didn't.

This country is supposed to be egalitarian but when push comes to shove, the rich and well connected make sure they are more equal than others.

The lifelong monetary problems experienced by his "poor dad" (whose weekly paychecks, while respectable, were never quite sufficient to meet family needs) pounded home the counterpoint communicated by his "rich dad" (that "the poor and the middle class work for money," but "the rich have money work for them").
The way his "rich dad" kept people waiting and intimidated them with his power, the way Kiyosaki himself resented being left out of the parties held by the "rich kids." It's disturbing.
With Kiyosaki's guidance, explode the myth that you need to earn a high income to become rich, challenge the belief that your house is an asset, and refuse to rely on the school system to teach kids about money.
