Even in a country built on the idea of equality among people, the elite of the Ivy League still likes to picture itself above all other Americans. It shouldn’t be too surprising that a majority of those seeking political office would come from this self-assured, privileged class.
All political candidates need to have a strong ego and sense of entitlement to get through the election process. And most candidates possess an “I know what’s best” attitude, or they wouldn’t be running for office. Those in the Ivy League possess this attitude in abundance.
Lucky for us our system of govt attempts to limit their despotic tendencies, and the damage caused by the incompetent and corrupt among them.
