Hmm. You’ve bought into a popular populist argument. Rational elitism is a good thing. You can’t change your race, but you can improve your level of knowledge… and that is a good thing! We naturally value the knowledgable and skilled.

Nope. In America the core core belief is in the common equality of all people when deciding public policy. Therefore the one vote for each citizen.

The educated and “elites” have their value, but in politics they are hired and fired by the “common” people. Rule by “our betters” was rejected by the Founding Fathers.
