not by a long shot. In fact, has been hurt by trickle down economics, but blames his pains on the great evil of taxes.

5. the majority of people have IQs that are average or below |
|
think about it, a majority of people are stupid, because the average IQ is set at 100 (unfortunately not real bright) and then many people who start out with more than average lose it thanks to lack of education, head injuries/accidents, hell, a bout with encephalitis or another disease can cause you to lose your edge, and then there is the ever-popular age related mental decline and the varieties of dementia
i liked tim leary's idea that we need intelligence increase because god knows what else we can do if we don't tackle that one in a democratic society
as it stands, if we must all bow to majority's will, we are lost, because the majority of people are sadly stupid
the bright people may be a LARGE minority but they are still ultimately a minority
and that's what's wrong w. people in my view

Of course, it goes into voting privilege based on intelligence. It's a deadly spiral, but it's sad to know we'll never do better than "slightly below average."

15. Ask him what part of 'trickle down' economics he enjoys the most. Paying a higher percentage of his |
|
wages in taxes than the boss? Watching his CEO get millions in yearly bonuses while he gets a 1.5% raise to offset 6% inflation? Or was it watching as millions of good paying jobs were 'outsourced' to other countries while the business got a hefty tax break from the feds?
