1/ One of the fascinating side benefits of the #NYTImes #TrumpTaxes hoax is that it highlights just how poorly educated most Democrats are.

(THREAD)
2/ I mean, these are mostly college-educated people who genuinely do not have the first clue about the difference between income and assets, and the taxation thereof, and taxation concepts more broadly. I cannot believe I am shocked, but I am. Their ignorance is staggering!
3/ Now, mind you, these are the same people who consider themselves "elite" because of their degree and their Democrat voting pedigree, while Trump-voting plumbers and drywall-hangers are vastly better educated than they are on the basic skills of economic life.
4/ There has always been a school of thought that a business education was somehow distasteful, and best for the dimwitted kids who could only get into their local state university.
5/ This school thought believed that a rigorous liberal arts education would help the student THINK more fully, and picking up on business concepts then would be easy IRL for such a brilliant thinker.
6/ And, I think maybe there was SOME validity to that last point, back when a liberal arts education meant studying Plato, Aristotle, John Locke and Shakespeare, and the idea of liberal arts education was to challenge pre-conceived notions.
7/ But somewhere along the way, "liberal arts" turned into Marxist indoctrination, devoid of any enhancement in reasoning or analytical skills.
8/ As a result, we have raised a generation of highly educated morons, lacking the basic business sense of the average plumber while also lacking any form of critical reasoning skills whatsoever so necessary to overcome their lack of life experience.
9/ It's like some sort of breeding failure of a fancy dog breed; so inbred, that it is unable to breathe fully or reproduce. It is so sad what Marxism has done to a generation of Americans.
