died after a pedestrian accident
This shit pisses me off so much. Like dude, they didn't even have an attempt to establish inter generational wealth
Those same boomers are still mad about "taxation without representation" and think of themselves as inheritors of Freedom from the mythical Founding Fathers (hallowed be their names)
AND YOU MOTHERFUCKERS WERE ALSO ALIVE DURING JIM CROW
they not only dismiss the legacy of slavery, imperialism, colonialism, genocide, sexism, racism, segregation, etc. They deny those things are still happening, and they also deny primitive accumulation. Old money families are rich just because they're smart and frugal. Not because their ancestors killed a bunch of people. No no no, that would be impossible.
Meanwhile BUT THE FOUNDING FAAAAAAAAAAATHERS SAAAAAAAAAAAID to excuse all sorts of horrible shit. 
and then they act like they have a deep personal connection with a failed separatist state that lasted 4 years and got completely fuckign rolled
