Are you a fan of H. L. Mencken? He said:

Democracy is the theory that the common people know what they want, and deserve to get it good and hard.

Quite the elitist.

Gotta love Mencken:

"The only good bureaucrat is one with a pistol at his head. Put it in his hand and it's good-bye to the Bill of Rights."
