I'm of the belief absolute IQ doesn't really matter. If someone's lazy they're going to be lazy, and at least in times past a relatively low IQ person could still make a life for him or herself. It doesn't really matter if you're a super genius if the only job you can find is sweeping up dog droppings. There's some quote which speaks of brilliant minds toiling away in factories.

Then again, the factory worker should be able to own his or her own home. Unskilled labor is still important
