Looking at this post from The Futurist it seems as if that belief is "stupid" in of it self. See the below graph and ask yourself, do people who make anywhere from $50k to $200K + and voted for Bush really able to be considered stupid? Believing that most of those individuals earned that money through their own hard work (and please don't tell me most of those people were born into that money or obtained it through subversive means) I find it hard to believe they aren't educated in some form or manner.

The 'they inherited it' reflexive excuse is even stupider considering this is *income*, rather than inherited assets. Unless a Bush-hater is going to say these (millions of) jobs were gotten through parental connections.
Another angle the haters put out is that Republicans are 'selfish' for making money. Hmmm... if a leftist spends several hours a week volunteering his/her time at an orphanage or school, they might have the credibility to say that. But the rest don't.
