Why are Liberals such underachievers and the highest that they ever rise is to the level of college professor? Is the simple answer that those who "can't", "teach"?
FORTUNE 500 CEOs
Republicans 85%
Independents 9%
Democrats 6%

If you were to conduct the same survey today for CEO's of China's major corporations, the equivalent of our Fortune 500, I'll bet you'll find that over 85% of them would be Communists (yes, card carrying communist party members. Some are even general officers in the PLA). Does that make communism as desirable as Republicanism?
During WWII, if you asked the political leanings of top German industrialists such as senior executives at BMW, Messerschmidt etc,,,what would you have found? I'd bet over 85% (perhaps 100%) would say Nazism. Does that make Nazism as desirable as Republicanism?
Senior business executives almost always take on the politics of the ruling class and in the US, it's the Republican Party (even when the Democrats are in power). In the UK, it's the Conservative Party (even when Labor or Liberal is in power). Whether that make those who believe otherwise as "underachievers" is a matter of opinion.
Are the Kennedy underachievers? the Clintons? Was FDR ?

If you had a real education you would understand. Becoming a college professor is not underachieving. Its a high, very respected achievement. These are the people that pass on valuable knowledge to your CEOs. The professors get paid well, and justifiable so. If they wanted to they could also become CEOs. Success isn't always about making money. It's also about making a difference. When you grow up and mature, you will understand this.

All depends on your definition of achievement.
If you ignore the teachings of the bible and make money the sole goal in life, I guess you would think of that as "achievement"
If you rape and pillage the earth, have you risen to a new level?
If you invade a sovereign nation without provocation (1st time in U.S. history), is that an achievement?
You obviously think money is the only way measure your life's worth.
I feel so sorry for you.

CEO's, you mean guys like Ken Lay of Enron, Gregory Reyes of Brocade, Joseph Nacchio of Quest, Kozlowski of Tyco, Bernard Ebbers of Worldcom, the CEO of Aldephia, all convicted criminals. and that's just off the top of my head, give me a little time and I'll get you the names of a few dozen CEO's implicated in criminal activity,,,,,,Neil Bush, Silverado Savings and Loan,,Dick Cheney, Halliburton,

You sure do post a lot of questions on the same theme. Thanks for all the points, but who are you kidding? Are you an intern for some GOP politician who got the crappiest job in the office--a yahoo troll? Jenna Bush having a little cyberfun? Who knows. Thanks again for the points!

My first thought was this is absolutely right. BUt don't you think they would all like to be in some giant think tank in Washington where they would deceide how all the lesser being would live? They know best.

Seems about right. They can eventually earn tenure and be lazy the rest of their lives.

Maybe making money isn't the highest achievement of mankind.
