The childish lifestyle of scraping by on part-time jobs stunts their growth permanently (so does that starving artist nonsense). It's like a fictional situation where if someone lives on bread and water for 4 years, he'll get to eat free at expensive restaurants from then on. The permanent indigestion makes the reward not worth sacrificing for.I'm not taking sides here, just posting these links as some interesting reading on why those with college degrees in America, Canada, and Europe tend to be more Liberal, and why the less educated tend to be more Conservative, also, why American's believe they control their own destiny, while those in other countries would prefer the state to play a larger role in their lives.
Whatever side of the partisan fence you are on, this might make some interesting reading.

5 ways Americans and Europeans are different
Educated =|= intelligent
When I see college professors claiming milk is racist, thought is rape, and gender is a choice, I'm ok with the Dems being "educated".
Yep, that's the entirety of the university experience. No one comes out of the other end better than they entered.
You've rambled for many posts now.
Every highly compensated person with highly complex careers are also highly educated.
Do you ever wonder why rich folks insist that their children get the best education money can buy?
Hint: Because they know that it's the key to a successful future.

/----/ I graduated from a private college on Long Island with a BS in Business 3.76 out of 4 GPA. My wife has a Masters in Education from St Johns University. Most of our friends are professionals with advanced degrees and we are not only Republicans- we are Conservatives. This renders your rant moot.Republicans just aren't smart enough for college. It's that simple.
/----/ As long as we are setting up straw man arguments, here's my entry: We all acknowledge that the true agenda of the DemocRATS is to reinstate slavery, where will they draw their slaves from, Detroit or Harlem?My guess is that the study in the OP is correct overall, but it wouldn't make people of one ideology better or more important to the country than the other significantly.
But on a (possibly) related matter, I do very much wonder when advanced education, intellectual acuity and a general ability to speak in an articulate manner became negative qualities for the GOP.
Dubya, Palin, Trump. All are hailed for their simplistic speech patterns as "speaking from the heart" - which, by the way, obviously has nothing to do with intelligence - and there is a clear trend here.
When did this happen, and why?

Intellectuals Are an Insult to IntellligenceIn 1953, when Americans had the most widespread prosperity ever, one third of the CEOs didn't have college degrees. It is significant that this was hidden away in a footnote in the bestseller, The Organization Man.There are plumbers and electricians that make more that managers at a lot of retail stores and they don't have degrees.
And many of them are with unions that give money hand over fist to Democrats!
Not in my State.
That may be true, there are many people that have a high school education and hove gone to run fortune 500 companies.
This isn't 1953 and at that time, only 40% of people had more than an eight grade education and less than 10% had any college at all.
Is that the world you want?
No, the way you describe conservatives is absurd and reveals that you have a closed mind, to the point that you can't even describe their positions.
Absurd? I guess you ignore all the Conservative posts on this forum?
The far right Conservative position on this forum is quite clear. It is about survival of the fittest. End of story.
The natural reaction to the desire for a cradle to grave nanny state often leads to heated rhetoric.
But policies, principles, candidates, show that is not the reality of the Conservative movement or the Republican Party.
I didn't say ALL Conservatives or the ENTIRE republican party... did I?
Would you like to make a general statement demonstrating your ability to understand the positions of the NOT radical fringe Conservatives?
Most Conservatives do not like to be taxed and the government use that money for social programs. They believe in limited government and that if any of their money is to be used to help the less fortunate, they get to choose WHO and WHERE that money goes.
It doesn't take but one example to make a universals claim false, boy.
Wrong again... that's called an anomaly.
Besides that, Perot was a Naval Academy graduate and did attend community college.
The naval academy is a university.
Yes, it is such a great school that a coworker had to go back to school to get a degree before he became a teacher just to teach math..
Because he probably didn't have the requisite classes to get his teaching certificate.
Do you believe that anyone with a degree can be a teacher?

An eighth grade education before the 70's was much different than an eighth grade education today. Just a fact. How many college twerps have you met along the way in administrative positions that couldn't spell any better than a second grader if even that? I have came across quite a few that supposedly had degrees but just like HS diplomas they got them without having the knowledge base to back those degrees up.In 1953, when Americans had the most widespread prosperity ever, one third of the CEOs didn't have college degrees.

The point was, the world was a simpler place in 1953.

That is generally a right when someone worked hard for that money to determine where they will put it into charity for others. If you want to get down to charities and the ones who have been scamming peeps take a look at clintons first and work your way out from there.The natural reaction to the desire for a cradle to grave nanny state often leads to heated rhetoric.

Non-sequitur. I have in fact said before on this forum that I thought the Clinton Foundation was not on the up-and-up at all times.
My problem is that Conservatives have no problem taking tax money to use it on programs they like, but when it comes to social programs they don't like, then tax money should be hands off.
