And also, pretty much all of the high IQ people had already been put off by Senile Uncle Joe. The case for luring people who earn good money and thus LESS TAXES is already gone. People who have a sound memory remembering that encourage the Burnt Loot Murder aren't going to respond to their 180 degree turn into saying they're against it.
Which leaves? Low income, low success, low memory segments that are easier to pander to.
