Anyone have rich conservative relatives who like to deny their wealth?

8. YES. In-laws in the financial business, with personal backgrounds in China. They've got a holding

company and a number of things going on. They're not the big players in the area, but they afford pretty expensive housing, paid university tuitions at Georgetown Law School and University of Chicago business school and big ticket whole family vacations, with 'golf trips' to the Dominican Republic. They still see themselves as 'just folks,' which is fine by me, but their politics is the stuff of bubble and rewritten history. Their family narrative is actually one of the self-made rich, which is valid.

Politics is the delicate point of encounter, but over years, now, they've been slowly acknowledging the claims of liberals and serious flaws of their party, even if not buying into politics that hurts their bottom line, or any restructuring management/labor relations.

They're soon to be ex in-laws, so the ongoing discussions will be lost.
