"Stupid Liberals" - Homer

Are You Smarter Than a Fifth Grader?
Self-identified liberals and Democrats do badly on questions of basic economics

Boned Jello

If you are smarter than a fifth-grader, you shan't need to read the article to know that, "According to a Zogby International survey that I write about in the May issue of Econ Journal Watch, the answer is unequivocal: The left flunks Econ 101."

Twenty-three questions.

And, as you will note, this is only Chapter Two.

The point is, anyone can have an opinion. The problem is, simply having an opinion doesn't mean that a road map to the world your opinion would lead us will magically appear simply because of your opinion. But a lack of fundamental understanding of the world around the Left is only partially demonstrated by the Left's unwillingness to learn the fundamentals of how economic systems work. To get a fuller understanding of the Left's model, take a look at their views on child-rearing, where it becomes our responsiblity to care for their children. As opposed to teaching their own children that it their own responsibility to care for themselves.

That's because the left doesn't believe in actual economics, the science part, anyway.
They believe in Marx ... who flunked Econ 101, History 101, etc.
Marxism is, you know, economic Lysenkoism.
Well, okay, they can spout stuff from Keynes when they need to sound credible, but Keynesian theory is fantasy economics, too.
