Their attitudes go all the way back to Plato and his essay the republic. The argument was presented that the best form of government was by philosopher kings who are the most intelligent of a society. They would have the power to enact law and make the rest of society conform, because the philosopher kings would do what was best for society, and the common man was not capable of acting beyond his own selfish interests. The swamp elitists believes themselves to be the equivalent of Plato's philosopher kings.
