Wouldnt wealthy people on average be better educated and potentially more intelligent than the poorest group?

I would expect wealthy to always be well represented.

> potentially more intelligent than the poorest group

It's easy to think this but its not true. There is just a ton of privilege involved in life. There are groups in India who purely tutor slum kids to the top IITs(the JEE exams in India are very hard).

better educated I get, but more intelligent? That doesn't track.
