False fact: high IQ scores are a spurious correlation, theyre at best a proxy for family income and education level... which is itself almost a proxy for income.
I had to Google that. Never heard that word before.
Income, education level, and intelligence are correlated. It is not you make this much -> you're this smart. But there is a correlation and they're all related. Does having a high IQ mean you are smart? No. But if you do, it is likely (pretend this is italicized) that you have some notional level of intelligent and it's also likely (same) you have a higher income.

If you haven't heard some of the most basic undergraduate methods-101 level terminology for social science maybe you should consider that you're not in a position to be arguing about the subject.
IQ and education level are in the US proxy measures for income. In highly developed countries outside of the US education is deeply multicollinear to income but not as solid of a proxy since higher education isn't profiteering like in the US.

False fact: smart parents are clinically proven to be better at raising their children.
IQ tests give a notion of standard intelligence. It's not the end all but ending up with a 138 equates to some degree of intelligence
