There are assumptions you are making that are not true. 1. Smart does not equal Wealthy 2. Statistically there is a rise in "smart" people's offspring. Speaking on behalf of smart people in "modern" America, I see very few really intelligent people anywhere. Whether they're rich or poor makes no difference. If a split were to occur, it would be between the truly intelligent and the vastly moronic and would only involve socio-economic disparity coincidentally.
