This is exactly why Democrats need to take power. Republicans only want their own kind to be able to afford education in the first place to then turn around and blame lack of education and high crime rates on the poor and to say 'they deserve poverty as they don't try'.

According to Austrian and British economics Nobel laureate Friedrich
Hayek, “Money is one of the greatest instruments of freedom ever invented
by man.” Perhaps, that’s the difference.
Almost every millionaire supports a free market economy and a society with individual freedoms, for obvious reasons. That would make the richest group of people in western countries liberals and not conservatives (who mostly live on farmlands and enjoy merely mildly prosperous lives).
As for the general question on why educated people often do worse than non-educated people... I would say that this is the result of education existing outside the economical space. Most even modern forms of education put people into a sheltered environment where they do not really interact with economy and simply accumulate knowledge - at the same time, other people work and accumulate experience and build careers. 4-6-12 years of education (depending on a path one chooses to take), in stead of work, is a pretty significant handicap on the job market, and it could explain the observed discrepancy between one's education and income.
I would also add that intelligence is anecdotally known to anti-correlate with practical skills, but that is a layman theory that, as far as I am concerned, is bogus in reality.

The study shows that liberals ARE more educated. So I'm asking why liberals, who ARE more educated, make less money.
