And people wonder why I think Dems aren't smart! LOL

A lot of pathetic TDS in the comments.

Probably 3/4 of ivy league graduates are Democrats, but they are “not smart”?

This is the problem with people confusing intelligence (he ability to think logically, to conceptualize and abstract from reality) with wisdom (the ability to grasp human nature). Intelligence does not necessarily indicate wisdom, which you exampled exceptionally well:

In the 1920s through the 1960s, most very smart people were Communist or Socialists. It wasn’t until the dissemination of Gulag Archipelago that the horrors of Communism were exposed, and the tide turned among intellectuals. Unfortunately, the allure of Socialism has turned their heads once more.

so..... if it shows he isn't rich, why would they think he owes even more taxes?

The more educated a person is, the more likely that person is a Democrat. That’s a statistical fact. I’m a Republican, but I don’t delude myself about Democrats. Plenty of them are plenty smart. But smart people often are wrong about politics.

A smart person knows a lot about a lot of topics.

Especially everyday things in life like economics, taxes and business.

They also don't spout off about shite unless they know what they are talking about.

There are three classes of Democrats.
Wealthy, who virtue signal.
Upper middle class, they also virtue signal.
Poor, when I say poor, I mean the ones who don't pay Federal Income Taxes.

An intelligent person does not vote for a party that would tax the shite out of them if they could.

They would instead prefer to keep their money and give it to charities of their choice or keep it.

Anyone who would rather give their money to a bunch of inept, incompetent and crooked people is not smart.

Virtue signalers need to feel warm and fuzzy inside and that's stupid.

They are also smart enough to not spout off opinions like they are facts. Or hurl shitty insults at strangers on the internet that have differing opinions.

Like most decisions, Politics is largely an emotional reaction which we then use logic to justify only after the “decision” has been made.

I'm sure they tell their friends how smart they are when a bunch of them are doing forced labor in the middle of a muddy rainy field.

"I'm smart!" says the progressive ivy leaguer right before the soldier knocks out half his teeth with the butt of his rifle.
