See how you do, elected officals, who took the quiz, scored less than
50%

That was cool.

I did ok, surprisingly.

ou answered 27 out of 33 correctly - 81.82 %

Two of them were completely bogus - two correct answers in the same
question. The one about the First Admendment (correct answer includes
due process) and the taxation question which is totally FUBAR - taxes
equals government spending also means zero debt and growth.

30 out of thirty two and IN FACT, I nailed it.

Morons.


So...why aren't you famous


Among my peers, I have quite the reputation as an original thinker and
brilliant theoritician.

or rich?


How do you know I'm not?


After what you said about your investments, I'm tempted to send my modest
funds down for you to invest.
I pay Nesbitt Burns fees for handling my money and every statement I get is
smaller than the last.
I think they're more interested in calming the masses to avoid panic
selloffs rather than my best interests.
