This is a pretty cynical view of the founders, who while they may have
been aristocratic in some mundane sense (having money), they were also
simply knowledgeable enough and enlightened that they wanted to defend
their rights as equals rather than suck dick for some imagined divine
rights given to kings.

No, while a fashionable position of those who smoke dope.  There is
only indirect rule by billionaires and lazy ass liberals who aren't
willing to take their disagreements with the police state to court.
