Nobody really cares about neighborhoods that they don't live in, so I don't see why that makes elites particularly terrible people.

I cringe when I see my customers outsource their IT to India, but that is mostly because it immediately makes my life much more difficult. There are fantastic Indian engineers and sysadmins, but they aren't the ones working the grunt jobs at these cut-rate outsourcing firms...

I'm not arguing they are terrible people. I'm arguing they are people, and like everyone else they are for their own interests. The point is that people, regardless whether their ethics are similar to the average person or not, that have too much power, can be dangerous to the world as a whole if not kept in check.

If we allow them to run roughshod over everyone else, we will be worse off because of it.
