Why do we put so much power on the elite as if they are untouchable?

They are very touchable and afraid if I may say.

Their money insulates them from the realities of the average, often resulting in arrogance, and contempt, for the poor. Benevolence and wealth are a rare combination, malevolence with wealth is common.

@VeronicaPrincess: Not just money but they operate black-mail rings where they can expose one another if they want to make trouble. And not just money but the power to have people killed if they attempt to expose the truth.

@cherokeepatti: It's the money that buys that power :/

When those who are in power in a society are afraid, then those who are not in power in that society should prepare for the worst.

@Flenflyys: If I feed my delusions then I may not be alone. I have someone or something watching over me, guiding me or helping me.
