I can't think of anyone living who I would trust to formulate a political system.

I think the following ten could hammer out a pretty good system.

Thomas Hobbes
Jeremy Bentham
John Stuart Mill
Robert Nozick
John Locke
Jean-Jacque Rousseau
Edmund Burke
Thomas Jefferson
Alexander Hamilton
Adam Smith

Too bad they are all deceased.

The only ones I would remove from your list are Noam Chomsky, Stephen Colbert and John Stuart, (that is if you meant John Stewart and not John Stuart Mill)

Chris Bosh is an interesting addition and one that I could agree with. He is a truely caring person.

Oops I meant Stewart. And I think Chomsky is a foreign policy genius.
