If this system will continue, it is in their benefit and so, according to your own statement which is very true, nobody wants to share power and so are they.
But this system can be changed when only educated people will be given power to decide. Its not easy to make him fool easily. An educated person can do critical analysis and know that much is being taken and less is being given. So he will make rational decision, atleast much better than ignorant one. That day, the status quo will change and this is the reason the privilege class will not let it happen.. This will collapse them, they know!

In democratic theory, privileged class is not suppose to occupy the power but in practise they are clinging to power and this is probably because democracy is still evolving.What you wish to do is to create a privilege class in theory so that there is no chance of uprooting privilege class in practise. This is quite strange since you haven't gone through Plato Republic and it's criticism so i can expect that from you. I would request you to go through that before further comments.
By the way, Bureaucrats belong to educated class and they are intelligent as well so they question is; are they making rational decisions for the greater good of people? According to your theory, they are not supposed to be corrupt since they are educated and rational!
