Elite

Polling has discovered a group of people that they call the Elite one percent. It shows that the degree gap is not between those with college degrees and those without but rather those who have post grad degrees and others. Those with BA's are closer to high school grads than they are to the elite. Who are these people. 73% identify as Democrats, 67% are 35-54 years of age, 86% are White, 47% support Sanders like policies and most all have post grad degrees. A majority in this group think that parents should not have control over their children's education, that government should control speech on social media, that you should have a college degree to vote, that 69% of them believe that the rest of us have too much freedom, 75% believe that the government should confiscate all guns and finally they believe that most people think like they do. This group includes bureaucratic, corporate, intellectual, military, media, and government elites who control the principal institutions in the United States and whose opinions and actions influence the decisions of the policymakers. After reading this, I was reminded of my favorite definition of and expert. An expert is a man who knows more and more about less and less until he knows everything about nothing.
