Neither. Or more specifically, a combination of the several different socio-economic classes so that they can meet together, compromise, and come up with the best possible decisions for this "country" who includes not just one class or the other but several different ones.

i am sorry dude.. this is a stupid question!!! manipulative and the assumption is very misleading!! the question has nothing to do with the assumption!!!
-
Intelligent decision making isn't the only factor in economic success or failure. Perhaps there were other factors outside the person's control that caused them to fail (i.e. corporate downsizing, an illness in the family, etc.). On a similar token, the rich could have prospered because they practiced corruption. Wealth is not a sign of merit.

The rich were once poor, perhaps, like my uncle when he first came to Canaba. He was not poor because he was stupid- long story but he started a business and retired a millionaire. So I would choose somebody like my poor uncle to run the country rather than some stupid rich person.
-
The rich who made it by their own values and laurels, not paid out to yes men.
-
the rich, please.

Think of it this way. If you wanted to know how to make money would you take lessons from the guy living under a freeway overpass or the guy that is driven to work in a lemo over that overpass..,OK then unless the guy in the lemo isn't a Bernie Madoff type but I'm sure that you get the point. Running a government of by and for the people is an entirely different matter. The whole thing is reversed. In a business what the boss says goes. In our country the people in government are the hired hands the people make the decisions, or they're supposed to anyway. When they don't get to they raise hell, like they're doing now. +6 I see where you're going with this question. The candidates who tell you that they'll run government like a business are the ones that should raise your red flag.

Your logic is flawed.

the middle class, thank you very much. They're not as selfish as the rich, nor as dumb as the poor.
-
I contest your premise. The rich get richer because they are ruthless bastards, and the poor get poorer because they care as much for others as for themselves. Do you want the selfish or the selfless running the country. Not true, of course, but at least as true as your simplification.
