Fine, but only 27% of people have a college degree, should we ignore this “fringe” group as well?

No, level of education and political party aren’t really comparable in the context of my quote. I was talking about a small minority blocking the will of the much larger majority

27% people having college degrees while 73% not does not really compare. In the case of how educated someone/some group is, it is generally a good idea to listen to the educated, as they are more likely to know what they are talking about.

On the other hand, when you are talking about a political dichotomy within fiscal policy, without taking a partisan stance, there is no actual right and wrong; there are just two or more different views (as economics is an entirely human made system). When the people have overwhelmingly thrown their support on one side, it is generally a good idea to allow that overwhelming majority to rule, instead of having laws that prevent such.
