two cents short of a buck

Basically having an IQ less than average; being Republican, while not being rich (aka cents, money) and not paying much taxes or any due to being poor; a middle class individual who happens to side with Republicans (aka: lack of sense, abstractly inferred by "cents")

That man in the bar, drinking beer and who is rambling about politics is two cents short of a buck.
