Perhaps this author should realize that those "less educated" folks out there supporting Trump are the ones that build and fix the homes in America. They grow and process the food that feeds us everyday. They repair the roads and make the cars and trucks that get us were we need to go.

Good ahead you intellectual snob and insult us, as your student loan increases.

I think the greatest illustration of this absurd attitude toward the “less educated” was a woman I saw on TV many years ago. She was a nurse in California and was being paid something like thirty five dollars an hour way back then, probably equal to more like a hundred an hour now. She was asked if she ever thought that possibly she was overpaid. She replied absolutely not and went on to mention that when she took her car in to be repaired there was a sign on the wall saying that the labor charge was seventy five dollars an hour. She then said that that guy makes “twice what I make” and “he only works on your car, I take care of your body”, as if a mere auto mechanic was totally inferior to her. It immediately struck me that she was an idiot who ignored two very important things. One, the charge at the garage was NOT what the mechanic was paid, he would be lucky to get twenty of the seventy five, the rest went to cover overhead and payroll taxes etc. Secondly she is a fool to think that the mechanic’s job is less important than hers simply becuase he works on cars rather than people. That mechanic could cause the death of many people if he does his job in a sloppy fashion. If anything I would put the mechanic above the nurse in terms of responsibilities.
