They think because they have a degree, and have good intentions, that makes them the Anointed, the Good People™ who have the absolute moral right to tell everyone what to do. Anyone who opposes them are by default evil, and the inevitable failure of their policies can only be due to two things: lack of effort, or failure to execute. Do it again only harder is how they always want to fix the former, and the latter is solved by more "education."
You see this in the phraseology the Anointed use all the time. An example that comes to mind: rural american vote against their own self interest by voting with Republicans.
These people are arrogant, spiteful midwits who never learn from their mistakes, and reject everything that contradicts their ideology.
It is better to be ruled over by robber barons than by omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep; his cupidity may at some point be satiated. But those who oppress us for our own good will oppress us without end, for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
