  • PS with far less World experience and knowledge about how things work young people always, and I'm talking about for decades, are likely to adopt somewhat left-wing attitudes. They do traditional a change over time.

  • I'm a Phd and make quite a bit.

  • Probably true considering that they over-educated are often less successful. I think professors have a tendency to resent people with Associate's degrees who are making a good living. They figure that somebody with an advanced degree should be rich. Sorry. Then again consider the areas of the country including the inner cities Etc with the absolute stupidest population, the laziest and the least successful, and they usually vote straight Democrat.

    Tell me another one about how "over-educated" are often less successful....

    If you had bother to read the article the non-educated are split down the middle for GOP and Demos.

    Well that's probably not true but oh, and remember I don't have the hard numbers here, I seem to recall the most successful entrepreneurs Etc are not particularly those with Advanced Doctorate Degrees in education but probably mid-level college degrees Etc. Possibly even four-year high school degrees.

    You are free to prove me wrong if you care to.

    I would assume that more educated would Go hand-in-hand with more education? For instance High School Dropout high school graduate associates degree four-year bachelor's Masters doctorate Etc. Can you think of a different and more relevant scale?

  • This is a small sample size of one, but a person I knew who left college after one year and started making frozen pizzas in the basement of his father's Italian restaurant within 10 years had turned that business into a worldwide empire. He started out making the pizzas and loaded them up in his station wagon and went out selling them and it all exploded after that. As his business grew he would hire more people, the more machinery he bought and the bigger buildings he would move in to. For me it was an amazing thing to watch what one person with a vision, not with a list of degrees after their name but good common business sense could accomplish. 

    This is where the dems miss it. You don't punish people like this with higher taxes and regulations you reward them. They are the job creators and the engine that drives our economy. If you take away the incentives for people to want to be successful who risk their own money and time and effort to create a business only to punish success you are killing the golden goose.

    I had a sociology professor at WVU  (Dr. Starr, has since retired) who we didn't study for his tests because if you just remembered the basic idea that white, old, rich, American, and Christian were evil, you could get an A. All of the questions were worded in a manner that if you kept a mindset like that you would pass. The same professor would get too hot in our class and staged a protest out front with students to force them to turn the AC down. I used the time to go get day drunk and be around people I didn't loath.

  • I did not expect for him to have a Wiki page haha.
