    “Looking back through history, tax cuts do not stimulate the economy” QFT
    Economy is money moving around. Tax cuts make bigger money pools for the rich / large institutions. Those folks have resouces already…that’s not the limit on the econ working. Middle class becoming poor can’t buy stuff. That’s the problem.

    Am I the only one who is bothered by these blind twittified links? I’d prefer to see where I was going before I go there….

    The IQ link seems to have some substantial bias issues, with no mention of correcting for them.

    The top ranking IQs are all from highly developed nations, Europe and Japan and the US.
    The lower IQs are all from poor and undeveloped nations.

    No mention is made for correcting for any educational or socio-economic factors, or cultural differences that might relate to how problems are approached in different nations.

    A far more obvious conclusion is that developed and highly educated nations are less religious, and that highly educated countries from the culture a test is designed in score higher on said test.

    There are enough valid reasons to criticize religion. We don’t need to make things up when facts are on our side.

      I agree completely. I was really disappointed to see that graph posted for those same reasons.
