I have studied from a class from uni that Aristotle said that the best king of government is wherein the middle-class in the ruling class. A democracy (rule of the lower-class) isn't the best choice (he said). Just because the majority (let's face it majority are of the lower-class) agrees on something doesn't mean its the best. Relying on the upper classes, on the other hand, will probably result to a larger wealth discrepancy between the upper and lower classes. The middle classes, on the other hand, have a taste of both being poor and being rich. They know what it means to work for money and they know what it means to lead and hire people. What do you guys think about this?

Makes sense to me. It seems like a very modern idea. Maybe because politicians love to pander "raising the middle class" this and that, since it's a nice fat American Dream sized carrot to dangle in front of the population.

But how could a government enforce such a constraint? Disenfranchising the lower class, the majority of people as you put it, would be cause for civil war. And the upper class would hardly lose anything, they'd still be able to pull strings.

completely misunderstood what is being said. Aristotle was specifically referring to who could hold office, (and maybe who could vote but im not sure about that one.)

You didn't understand. Democracy is a system designed to give sinners whatever they want. It could be rightly called the rule of sin.
