The question is who should be the ruling class
Not the rich because they already have power.
Not the uneducated because that won't turn out well.
There are two groups;
1)The students that got a C in a technical course
2)Middle class people with more knowledge in culture than money
One problem wit the United States is that the technical professions have let themselves be so marginalized. The Deep Water Horizon disaster would not have happened if the engineers had as much power as the managers.
This is my point, the technical class in the United States doesn't realize it should have more political power. Scientists get kicked around too much.
Any new country should see what happened in the United States and give more power to its technical class. This would be more of a meritocracy.
Our problems aren't created by uneducated people, they're created by educated people who are taking advantage of uneducated people. Removing that step from the equation makes their job easier, not harder.
