The impoverished Barnabotti remain a big problem for our political system. Part of the problem seems to be that once they have lost everything these nobles are unlikely to rise again. If we could provide means for them to restore the former glories of their families they might once again become productive members of our society. Doing that is, however, not popular among those who would rather rely on their bought votes or who would fear more competition.\nRecently a relatively harmless proposition was put forward however, a school could be created for the children of the nobles to ensure that they are given a proper education that their parents might not be able to afford. This would also allow at least a few select of them to rise above their original status and do useful things for the state again.
