Would you support this legal reform for social media?

If using Twitter, Facebook, etc, to share political opinions with your fellow citizens, your IQ would be required by law to be disclosed with each twat, FB post, etc.

I know a lot of smart people who say stupid shit or have ridiculous beliefs. For example, cutting taxes increases revenue.

No. Being stupid is no reason to have your voice not heard.

Plus, IQ isn't a great measure of anyone's ability to reason and understand in the political arena. We're not solving a calculus equation here.

Or that increasing taxes doesn't hurt job growth

True, but I still think there is some correlation- e.g., Donny's IQ is estimated to only be around 120. This is certainly well above the median of 100, but far below the historical average for past presidents which is in the high 130's.
