People who don't even have a college degree shouldn't be elected to office.

Mean people shouldn't be elected to office, no matter how many degrees they have.

Do you think that you're a nice man?  Do you think that there should be no consequences for people who have hurt as many other people as much as you have?  Do you think that you are justified in doing the things that you're doing?  You think your ego is more important than other people's lives?

Do you think that the people who wrote and passed laws defining and prohibiting statutory rape didn't know what they were talking about?  Do you think that laws against voyeurism are too much of a restriction on your behavior toward other people?

You wouldn't have a problem with it if someone took your children and raped them, made pornographic videos of them and sold them into slavery?  You wouldn't have a problem with it if someone, or a lot of people, put cameras in every room of your house, cameras over which you had no control?  You wouldn't feel angry and violated if those things happened?  Would you smile and
laugh along with people who told you that you had either asked for it or that you had gotten what you deserve?

You are able to protect yourself from those things because you have money.  The world to whose creation you are contributing is a world in which only people with money will be able to protect themselves from those things.

Most people don't and won't have the money to do that.

Presidents and other elected officials spend their time in office making decisions that affect most people.  Do you think that you understand and care about what most people need?

People are not supposed to have to buy their rights; that's why rights are called
rights and not "respect that only rich people get."  The idea of human rights is that, even for the most impoverished person, they take precedence over the whims of even the richest person in the world.
