Keep applying that logic to people higher up the class system. The next step up would be:

"I value the people who fly me to my summer home, and treat them with respect as pilots, but I really don't think they would do any good running the government."

Personally, I think the country could be greatly improved if the people running the country had similar backgrounds to the people they are supposed to represent.

If the most liberal city wants to elect a democratic socialist, then fine because she will have to debate against all the other representatives that make up the rest of the country. Don't be afraid, in the market place of ideas, a lot of things get proposed, but only a few get implemented.
