Not a perfect correlation. California with all its people, carries a lot of weight and it's 25 in education.
When a battleship fires it's cannons at another ship there are something like 2 dozen variables that go into the algorithm as to where to aim the guns such that the shell intercepts the intended target 20+ seconds later.
So, ironically the OP starts a thread about education using how many variables to explain a states level of education? Oh yeah, one. Priceless.
What you are doing in that post would be like walking into a donut shop and seeing a large dog turd with frosting on it in the display case. You note that it needs a little more frosting.
There is no fixing this hillariously ironic dog turd thread about "education" using 4th grade math skills.
Then, why do Republicans earn more than Democrats?
Not entirely accurate.
In blue states Dems earn more, In red states Republicans earn more. Since they’re more red states than blue states the overall aggregate leans towards republicans.
This chart is a little old, 2014. States like Colorado and Arizona have moved left since then.
Pot meet kettle. Just look at what is happening in democrat strongholds lately. You must have been sleeping while all the rioting/looting/vandalizing was going on. You also didn't notice that the dems running those places have allowed those lowlifes to keep rioting/looting/vandalizing even if it put their local PD at risk.
From reading your posts, it's obvious that you don't fully research new stories. You stick to your left leaning media and take it as gospel.
I've talked with people with advanced degrees and that's how they, like you, get their news. When they bring up a news story that they saw from their favorite left leaning media source, I will point out things that were left out of the story. It never fails---they are very surprised when they hear the whole story.
Too many educated liberals aren't even aware that today's democrats aren't their grandfather's (or their father's) democrats. They are oblivious as to how far to the left the dems have moved. So, like automatons they vote for anybody or anything with a "D" next to their name. That's a shame. If they weren't so willfully ignorant, they just might find that the RINO on the ballot is more in line with their beliefs than the Blue Dog democrat.
Is this ^^^ your way of saying you are inventing your own reality based on the way you wish it?
Those are ridiculous questions. You just wasted your time asking them.
At least it's good to see that you include plumbers among those you think are educated, because they, indeed, are educated.. That's a good start
You're implying that those who aren't highly educated don't want what's best for our country. You must be aware that not all liberals are highly educated. Many of them are uneducated and on welfare. In fact, 1/3 of those on welfare in this country live in CA. CA is one of those blue states you are crowing about.
My thread is about ALL education, especially primary and secondary education. Children shouldn't be sentenced to a life of hard labor because they are not given an education worthy of the 21st century and steeped in science.
If a voter was required to have an IQ of 120 or higher in order to cast a ballot in this country, there likely would be zero republican politicians in DC...
IQ is correlated to income, so you have that exactly backwards. See my earlier post in this thread:

On any list that is going to be ranked, you will always have a first and a last. However, as another poster once put it, it is like ranking billionaires; the poorest billionaire is still a billionaire.
In this case, this ranking system means nothing, show actual stats, for all we know, there could be less than a percent between first and last.
