The surest way to out a complete loser is when they use the term "elite". Not only does it smack of a whining "loser in like's lottery" it also is right out of Das Capital

In times past, only the elite were allowed to vote, which is why the elite then were far different than the elite now.

Democracy is the reason the nation's net tax producers are $6 trillion in debt.

"It's time we asked ourselves if we still know the freedoms intended for us by the Founding Fathers. James Madison said, "We base all our experiments on the capacity of mankind for self government."

This idea? that government was beholden to the people, that it had no other source of power is still the newest, most unique idea in all the long history of man's relation to man. This is the issue of this election: Whether we believe in our capacity for self-government or whether we abandon the American Revolution and confess that a little intellectual elite in a far-distant capital can plan our lives for us better than we can plan them ourselves."
