[quote=Anonymous]Having money and going to a private school and even belonging to the local country club does not give you the code.  The code is old money who operate a layer above regular rich people.  They have connections with only the most elite, upper echelons of society and political power types to get what they want.  They almost always go to private, but they could go to public and still have the code.  They are the types in the documentary "Born Rich," which shows what happens when these pampered, sheltered kids with the code go to college.  Their family makes them stay in the dorm, and they get to be friends with the "regular kids" (kids also with money but not with the code), but then they go back home to their circle of accepted peers and marry within that circle.  It's like they view college as a few years of seeing how the other half lives, but generally there are no lasting friendships, and no ordinary person, no matter how much money they have, make it to the real inner circle or ever get to achieve "the code."
