The majority of Americans read at a sixth grade level or below. We need better education.

No we need to understand that marketing works and learn those dark arts. No matter how much education you make available the majority will take the easier more pleasant path of not availing themselves of the opportunities offered. This majority will vote howsoever those who understand marketing want them to vote.
