University Graduates have higher incomes than the average American, in the majority of cases this is due not to the specific skills learned, but the propagation of politically correct ideologies used to keep the lower middle classes in their place.

I assume you aren't really doing any such research, but rather you are making a snarky political point. It does make me wonder, what could you possibly mean by "propagation of politically correct ideologies used to keep the lower middle classes in their place"? Sheer tautology. If you had an education, you might have thought through your own BS a bit before posting.

Actually, it was my honor's thesis at the University of Washington, though not stated as such exactly.
In 1987 I looked at the connection between the so-called Massachusett's "Miracle" in High Tech and higher education. As I was doing this, in the run up to the Dukakis Presidential Campaign the miracle just happened to go bust.
Even though Mass does produce tons of college graduates relatively few of them are technically trained (I looked at EE and CS) - it was likely the elites at MIT that created the boom and the PC folks that tore it apart.
This is something I've thought about a lot - and after over 20 years I'd have to say that the PC folks were likely pandered to by the Reagan era investment banker types as part of a strategy to control corporate America.
I think we've seen how that worked out, like for example the internet tech bust just before the 2000 election and the overkill of the same approach in the fiscal/housing crisis of 2008.
