Yet you believe that people without degrees are less than people with degrees and should not vote. Quite socially egalitarian there.

In my country pretty much everyone has the opportunity to study. So if people don't use that opportunity then that is their fault.

 

Is study the be all, end all for all people though? What if somebody wants to become a skilled laborer (electrician, plumber, specialised painter, carpenter, etc) or want to start their own business? Not everybody needs or wants higher education, and it isn't the only way to make a good living.

We're not talking about making a good living though, we're talking about who should decide who is in power.

I know people who never went to college and made more money than my first job (though I had a lot more options to get promotion). I respect anyone regardless of their education, but I firmly believe voting should be a privilege and not a given right to everyone.

Granted, the US has too many problems to implement this (high education cost, unequal living conditions for black people, hispanics (?), etc.)
