When Family is Not Family

by Martin Armstrong, Armstrong Economics:

QUESTION: What do you think of RFK’s sister? I can’t imagine her as a family member.

ANSWER: Let me explain something that shocked me when I was a kid. My father had a client whose children never supported him. My father did his will, and he left everything to the live-in housekeeper who took care of him for his last ten years of life. The family never visited and basically just disagreed with whatever he stood for. What I remember was the very day he died, his kids ransacked his house, convinced he had stashes of cash. They began punching holes in the walls, looking for money.
