No, no no no.
Nice try. That's what INNOVATERS have given us.
Not the same thing as elites.
For example the Founding Fathers were going AGAINST the "educated elite" of their day in Founding this country.
The ELITE of their day was invested in the monarchy.
My family knew Henry Ford. Henry Ford was a neighbor of my Dad when he was a kid and even bought my dad an ice cream cone once.
Henry Ford was not an elitist, but a self made man.
He was born on a farm, and started in business as apprentist machinest.
Computers?
Jobs and Gates started their business in a garage.
I could go on and on.
Wonderful innovaters. Inventing cars, medicine, computers. Etc etc etc.
Doesn't mean they always know who should run the country.
Sorry, your examples are a big fail.
You were the one who was disparaging intellectuals in this thread. I hate to break it to you, but most innovation isn't created by "average" guys working in their basements. The creators of technology and innovation are usually highly educated people, often coming from well-to-do and educated families. Much of America's innovation come from these intellectuals, who spend their days and nights in university labs, trying to find the Next Big Thing.
Yeah, like the New York Times and who THEY THINK should be our candidate?
Yeah, let's have the NYT pick our candidate again like they did John McCain.
Oh you schmart guys, you run with that.
Remember the NYTimes thought Reagan was a dunce!
