Is Philosophy flawed by having been developed by elite members of society?

Immanuel Kant is rather singular in not having been brought up in a privileged background. Still, few young people from humble beginnings, even if bright and philosophic, will seldom seek a line of work so remote from what their peers does for a living. Does that affect the quality of philosophy? Starting this in a delberately vague manner.

1) Plenty of philosophers were not elites. Socrates, Diogenes, Epictetus, Camus, Chomsky (maybe -- his parents had jobs but it was the depression, and they weren't rich elites).

2) Just because something is produced by an elite, it doesn't mean it is flawed or doesn't deserve attention. Loads of classical composers, for example, came from high class backgrounds. That doesn't make Mozart less of a genius.  

To a certain extent, it's hard for certain types of work to exist without some economic security. That is, in a society that forces everyone to work 12 hour days to survive, it's unlikely that many from that society will write the next great novel or spend 10,000 hours learning how to paint frescoes.
