Speaking of balanced, I've found it interesting that Democrats were quick to support the very wealthy Kennedy family for the same reason, "They can't be corrupted by money".     

 I doubt either party is right about that theory.  It depends on the person and their character not the size of their pocketbook.    

We have Warren Buffett living in a nice home in Omaha, and you have Trump living in a gilded New York Suite.   The difference in character is extreme to anyone who has observed both.    Warren is honored for his work, his recognition of the real value of his investments, his modest personal manner and his participation in national and international efforts to fight disease and poverty.   You would not pick Buffett out of crowd if you did not know his face.  That's a man with modesty, dignity and deep respect for the welfare of others.    Wealth does not corrupt everybody, but it most certainly corrupts some.   People seem to recognize both.
