Tim Walz: Vote for Me Because I Haven't Got a Clue About Economics

J.D. Vance quite famously grew up poor. To put this is Kamala Harris' terms, he didn't grow up in a Middle-Class family obsessed with how green lawns were.

He was more worried about the methamphetamine and oxycontin ruining his communities. 

He joined the military, went to war, got an excellent education and made something of himself. He even wrote his own book instead of cribbing from Wikipedia and some flyers. 

In his signature move, Tim Walz attacks Vance again for being a Yalie who made a bunch of money, while Tim goes off to run the gay/straight alliance in a middle school, gets a DUI, and starts lying about his military service. 

Playing into his bizarre class warfare shtick, Walz is now attacking Vance in the weirdest way: by admitting that as a public school teacher and an Elmer Fudd-like boob, he doesn't even know how the economy works--unlike Vance, that fancy-pants guy who made money by investing in startup companies. 

Newsflash Tim Walz: venture capitalists fund entrepreneurs taking risks on ideas, many of which don't work, and a few of which become big essential companies that change the world. They perform a vital function in an economy. 

Maybe watch Shark Tank. Your buddy Mark Cuban might teach you something, even though he has no common sense.

This is not the first time Walz has trotted out this line of attack on Vance. Tim, who isn't very bright and who has never had a non-government job seems to hate people more successful than he. 

His complaint seems to be that Vance is too smart, too successful, and perhaps too masculine (in a good way) for Walz's taste. You'd never find J.D. Vance doing the "White Dudes for Harris" dance that is going around. 

Walz advertising his ignorance shouldn't surprise me, I guess. The Harris/Walz team is so tone deaf that it is just another day on the trail.
