Republicans on Philosophers

Post by tbieter »

At the recent Republican debate on Fox Business News, Marco Rubio got a cheer for stating, "For the life of me, I don't know why we have stigmatized vocational education. Welders make more money than philosophers. We need more welders and less philosophers." Ted Cruz referred to the Federal Reserve as "philosopher-kings trying to guess what's happening with the economy."

Philosophy doesn't work when you run something."

No, you don't have a clue what you are talking about, they speak the truth and you are just too stupid to see it.
