The top 10% are extremely tough to lie to though.
This is the problem with democracy. You can build your entire political career on lies. Some people will see through it, but it doesn't matter. There's not a damn thing they can do about it because the voting majority can't tell. Being a good liar is far more useful for a politician than being a good leader.

A person is tough to lie to and will see through your deception. People, on the other hand, are incredibly easy to lie to. We have built in Societal defensive mechanisms to ensure that this is the case.

I advocate for only smart people to be allowed to vote and I like the CATO institute.
You guys advocate for stupid people to be allowed to vote and you guys hate the CATO institute.
Do the math.

If you guys thought you were more likely to get your way by limiting voting to smart people, you would advocate it.
You don't because you know your positions depend on the stupid vote.

CATO is just the rich establishment buying out the libertarian movement to make sure it doesn't turn into anything they don't like. It's no wonder Paul loves them.

I mean you've been lying for years on the Outpost and I doubt even 1% has believed any of the shit you've said.
