Say the "people" are idiots. Then is rule by idiots the best form of government?

"When the people find they can vote themselves money,
that will herald the end of the republic." - Benjamin Franklin

The problem with this is that the people can't vote themselves money. We'll all be poor; meanwhile the Dems and GOP will continue to shut down Dulles with their private planes and bail out their rich cronies with our money.

I do agree that most voters are idiots, however.

well since more voters are swayed/informed by the Media..and the media is controlled by who? Big Business. Who also has influence/control over the government...

Voters are easily manipulated is more precise I'd say.
