Yeah I really don't get this...I don't know what to call it...this anti intellectualism? To support the notion that you and the rest of the poor to middle class public are not smart enough to make decisions for yourself and that it's good for the rich (how is this a measure of intellect anyway?) to rule over all the "stupid public" is....maddening.

"The rich"? He said the aristocracy, didn't he? Being a member of the aristocracy isn't a sign of wealth, it's a sign of inbreeding.

Whoops, I assumed that if you were a part of the aristocracy that you would be rich.

The merchant class isn't a part of the aristocracy, and they were the ones with the cash...

Well alright.

They were the ones who made their own money by working. The aristocracy stole it from someone else or forced others to work for them while they got drunk.

Granted, the aristocracy wasn't always great, but it isn't as if a lot of them didn't do work for money. For example, do you think a CEO of a company should be paid less than the average line worker?
