One of the biggest fallacies in this country is that people with wealth must be smart...   Updated at 3:12 AM
   
There is a very large percentage of people who come to the their success through happenstance, being in the right place at the right time and also having access to the social network exposed it's members to wealthy investors and so allows for innovation.

Remember, for every self made man there are probably twenty Steve Forbes...

This fawning over some one who made it big and thinking they have all the answers is nothing more that stifling the market place of ideas...

Well I would think in order to be wealthy you would at least need common sense otherwise you would blow all your money on pot and cheetos.

If being stupid and being wealthy went hand in hand there would be a lot more wealthy DUmmies.

Steve Forbes wasn't a self-made man?

One thing's for sure. If you do nothing but sit on your ass in front of your computer stewing over how much the next guy has you're never going to be "at the right place at the right time." Successful people do everything they can to be at that place.

Poverty has nothing to do with the clothes on your back or the size of your bank account.

There are plumbers out there who save up, make wise investments, and become millionaires.  According to the DUmmies, they mustn't have earned it.

More justification of why the DUmmies haven't made the big time.

One of the biggest fallacies in this country is that people high in the democrat party must be smart.

Is this a back-handed slap at Will Pitt?

The DUmmies/liberals lack sense altogether, never mind common sense.
