I know one of the things people love to talk about is that these folks shouldn't benefit from the positions of their parents in high levels of government. Whether it is Biden or Trump kids. Personally, I don't care if the children of officials benefit in the private sector so long as there is no undue influence on the policies of the US. Now, is it best practice to avoid these sorts of situations so that there is no illusion of impropriety? Yup.

I do have problems with family in government. We got away from the spoils system in the late 19th century for a reason.

My dad worked for a business where the kids took it over and gave all their kids jobs even though they were completely out of their element.  We laughed about it because it didn't directly affect his job but my mother always said if it would have been her that owned it she would have done the exact same and given all of us jobs.  

But I totally agree with the government point.
