The most intelligent people generally end up with the most money. And yes, they went overwhelmingly for Bush.
I completely disagree with your statement.
Wealth is not the be all and end all, in fact far from it I would say. There far more important things in life than money and when people come to realise that, I think they will be a lot happier. Money won't fill that whole inside of you, no matter how much you stuff inside it, it won't fix everything, it won't make things right.
Money doesn't make someone happy, which is why I would say that many of the most intelligent people in the world aren't rich, they are smart enough to realise this, that there are far more important things in life than this. Making a difference, be it moving the whole world, or just one person, it will make you feel a lot happier and better inside than accumulating wealth ever could which is why I say that intelligence and wealth aren't connected, because those who realise this are the smartest of all.
