the scary part is this,
HALF ARE DUMBER!
THANK YOU, GEORGE CARLIN
Obviously this is impossible from a practical standpoint, but as a thought exercise:
1) Divide the costs of crime, policing, courts, jails/prisons, public assistance in all its forms (excluding SS and Medicare), remedial education, etc., between the population A) above, and B) below the IQ average.
2) Divide all taxes paid between the same groups.
Would the result be that group A pays for nearly everything “public” and group B causes most of the spending? Group B does pay some sales, gasoline, and property taxes. There is basically a massive transfer of wealth from the more intelligent people to the less intelligent. There is much irony in that.
