TRUMP: I don’t think anybody can get rich---I think you have to be born with a certain intelligence.



No, I don’t think anybody can get rich. I think unfortunately the world is not a fair place. I think you have to be born with a certain intelligence. And it doesn't have to be a super intelligence, it has to be a certain intelligence. You can't take somebody that's not a smart person and say, "By the way, this is what you do, and here's your little card, and you're gonna follow these rules and regulations and you're gonna become a rich person." The world is not fair. You know they come with this statement "all men are created equal." Well, it sounds beautiful, and it was written by some very wonderful people and brilliant people, but it's not true because all people and all men [laughter] aren't created—now today they'd say all men and women, of course, they would have changed that statement that was made many years ago. But the fact is you have to be born and blessed with something up here (pointing to his head]. On the assumption you are, you can become very rich.

For years the GOP has been cutting public school funding. They know the poorly educated will always vote reliably GOP. They got that notion from a study by the Heritage Foundation of Appalachia. Dumb as well ropes, poor as dirt, but always vote GOP.
