re: Why do conservatives earn more money than liberals if they are so much less intelligent?

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!
