The mistake these people make is to state that this professors are intelligent. They're not. If they were intelligent they would be out in the world applying they're knowledge and making a lot of money. The old saying holds true. Those that can... Do. Those that can't... Teach. So the whole idea that professors are intelligent is fiction.
One could say that they are educated beyond their intelligence.

So you equate someone's intelligence directly to the size of their wallet? Ridiculous. I guess all those poor Jesuit Priests teaching out there are stupid. Yah that makes sense.
don't be so sure liberal professors are not on the gravey train....elect a liberal local/state/national gov't and who do you think get the fat "consultant fees" ? who do you think gets the multi-million $$ grants to study " the social dynamics and linguistics interface on the city basketball courts after midnight" ( true grant delivered)? who do you think get the fat "development plans for our liberal region" fees? have you forgotten multiple committee appointments that pay $10,000 and much more each for meeting a half day per year? and on and on and on....
Do not bemoan the financial plight of liberal professors as the grease is slathered onto them...bemoan the conservative professors who are denied tenure, all appointments and are constantly waiting for the pink slip...
