Intelligent people tend to earn a lot more. And since intelligence is mostly inherited, people with a lot of money to pass on also tend to pass on genes for intelligence, too.<br /><br />Which isn't to say that a rich person is necessarily a genius. But he's a lot more likely to be a genius than a poor person is.Revenanthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11374515200055384226noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329595.post-77782180615805612892009-08-25T20:25:57.887-05:002009-08-25T20:25:57.887-05:00@Mr. Cederford, If you are serious then you know h...@Mr. Cederford, If you are serious then you know how Chicago politics functions. Gaining political and financial power is aided by who you know and who you can associate with in a social setting. The financial world functions in the same way.

The Secret Service instructed Armstrong never to pass the president. A lot of people thought that the Secret Service was trying to maintain Bush's delusion that he was as strong a rider as anyone, including Lance Armstrong. <br /><br />Actually I think they were afraid that if Armstrong passed the president, Bush, with his big male ego, would try so hard to keep up he'd end up flying over the handlebars. It was for Bush's physical protection, not to maintain his kingly prerogatives and/or athletic delusions.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329595.post-78874731948145453202009-08-25T19:45:36.844-05:002009-08-25T19:45:36.844-05:00No one on the PGA Tour would wear their shirt unbu...No one on the PGA Tour would wear their shirt unbuttoned like that.

NO wonder he is playing golf with Obama.
