      This is it. I don’t think they have particular respect for the offspring of other wealthy elites either, they just know there is power and money protecting/ defending the children of the elites if anything happens to them. These people don’t have respect for anything but themselves. They’ve just gotten where they are by having a keen instinct for self-interest and preservation.
