Steve Sailer has done some digging and it seems like this table is fake.

[Host: The income-IQ correlation was inspired by the book "IQ and the Wealth of Nations," by Richard Lynn and Tatu Vanhanen. The income statistics are now perhaps a decade old, but were apparently the only numbers available to the original compiler when the results of the '00 election became available (and this chart was made).

I was thinking -- just last week -- that someone should study the relationship between IQ and political affiliation. It's so clear to me that progressives are much, much more intelligent than conservatives. Great to get the confirmation! Thanks for the post!

this is so fake its laughable

lol!! this is funny as hell.. the way crazy Al has been ranting and raving IM GLAD he isnt in charge of the nukes!!!

And this is coming from the folks who can't figure out how to use a ballot?

Conservatives are not necessarily stupid, but most stupid people are conservatives.
