Means nothing when you consider the percentages that actually pay taxes.

This past election, democrat demographics showed they earned more. Use proof next time you bring up false stats as a topic

and other google resources.


Can you read your own sources?

WaPo graph has Trump winning among both the $50 - 100K and $100+K ranges.

Yeah because they're all stuck in NY and San Fran where salaries are inflated.

You better take another look. Your first link shows the higher income brackets voted for Trump.


$250,000 and higher GOP 48% DEM 46%
$200,000-249,000 GOP 49% DEM 48%

Did you even look at your own link?




ETA
It also showed the $100,000-199,000 bracket voted for Trump, but I was laughing so hard I forgot to put it in there.

Intelligence/IQ is a thing of the past when it comes to success. The business world has embraced EI (Emotional Intellegence) as a much greater indicator over the past 20 years. I seem to notice a lot of people with really high IQ's are agnostics or athiests, which is going to make them less happy individuals and hence lower their EI. I have an uncle who believes he's the smartest person he knows, and his IQ is 159. He spent his career working for the state, he is a miserable athiest, and yep-he's a liberal!

You made a "libs r dum" thread and still can't get positive upvotes. Maybe reconsider your posting strategy.

Fareplay, can you read your own sources? It doesn't say what you think it says

You combine two narratives that perpetuated by the opposite side.
Liberals claim Conservatives are stupid.
Conservatives claim Liberals are poor.

Is this what being a moderate means? Combining two talking points and trying to extrapolate a third, far reaching conclusion?

Bill Gates, Warren Buffet, and Larry Ellison all pretty much say you don't know what you're talking about.

More of them are government employees. Less of them actually create anything of their own.

Check out fairplay's first link. It is going by exit polls information and was supposed to support Dems earning higher, but he looked at it backwards.

It is an interesting phenomenon, despite HHTM's, erm, provocative title. Relatively affluent but moderately educated places swung hard for Trump; moderately affluent but highly educated places swung hard for Clinton, especially compared to pre-Obama. It's noteworthy for the new coalitions forming.

There's not as clear of a correlation between income and party identification as there was ten years ago, though. That is for sure.

In fairness, he might be if he hangs around a lot of liberals.

I don't recall ever seeing a study show that the differences support the use of "much." This is the second thread about intelligence where you've seemed to inflate the strength of the relationship.
quote:

Democrats do poorly with high income groups
Well party affiliation is correlated with ideology; however, I would imagine this relationship is moderated income.

In other words, the higher the income, the more likely a person of a certain ideology is to vote for a Republican than a lower income person with that some ideology.

So taking a correlate (party with ideology) with a correlate (ideology with intelligence), then using a moderating variable (income) as the correlated outcome with intelligence really makes your premise flawed.

Perhaps i dont know how to read, but your links show just the opposite.

Dems dominated the Under 50k
GOP Won everything over that.

Am i incorrect?

According to the two sources you linked you're wrong.
Did you read them?
