Nope, they earned it. It's theirs.

Which is worse? Dollars made through supporting the Nazi party or dollars made through sending other people's children to battle to be killed and maimed in a war with no purpose other than to help Halliburton and other Bush-allied companies make a huge profit?
As far as I'm concerned, they're about the same.

Lets dismantle Volkswagen while we are at it. It was created by Hitler.
Siemens, one of the worlds greatest electrical corporations, also was heavily involved in Nazi Germany.
The Bushes made their money selling pig iron to the Nazis from what I understand. There was nothing illegal in such actions, at the time. We weren't yet at war with Nazi Germany.
The Kennedys made their cash from illegal activities during prohibition. Basically, they were gangsters. If anyone should have their cash taken away, it would be the Kennedys. It was all dirty AND illegal.
Of course, Joe also supported the Nazis as ambassador to the UK, as someone else has pointed out.

The Kennedy's got their fortune rum running. Joe Kennedy as America's Ambassador to Great Britain showed his support to Hitler. He was flown home real quick like.

Should the Kennedy's give up their wealth because Joe made the fortune on bootlegging?
