Yeah—because we all know that wealth indicates intelligence. /sarc”

You can't found a company like Microsoft from scratch, build it into the world's biggest software company and hold that position for for decades, and in the process become the world's richest man for 14 straight years, and America's richest man for even longer, in a super competitive business like technology, by being a dumbass. You need plenty of smarts, determination, grit etc.
Looking down the Frobes 400 list of the richest Americans(and leaving out those who inherited their wealth), I can't see even one person at the higher echelons of that list, who I will not consider pretty smart.

If you think its so easy, try making a billion, and see where you get.

Talent =/= Intelligence

And intelligence does not equal wisdom.

I refuse to give any of my hard-earned money to a pro-death, anti-American, pro-tyranny, liberal idiot. You want to support the opposition? You just make our jobs harder. You finance our government, Planned Parenthood, and the ACLU. You finance world-wide abortion programs, and support dictators.

Not me. I'm actually a conservative.
