In reply to the discussion: Four States Are Responsible For ONE FOURTH Of America's Uninsured. Is Yours One Of Them? [View all]ReRe
(10,597 posts)... or at least don't blame the uneducated ones, let me say it that way. Faux News is where they get their politics. They get just enough education to be able to read and write at a rudimentary level, enough to read easy instructions, to write a check, to take the drivers exam, and even to vote. They go to school as long as the state requires it...probably to age 16 (no matter what grade they are in at the time...many fail and are in lower grades than expected for their age.) They have probably NEVER read a book from front to back, nor would comprehend much of it if they did. Many of them are very poor and get as much gov help as they can., although that isn't much, these days with all the cutbacks. They subsist. And they have babies.
Anyway, I could go on and on and on, but I won't. Their states don't care about them. They neglect them, they keep them uneducated and poor for a reason. You can't hold people responsible if they have an IQ of 70-75. They don't know that life could be different for them with an education. They don't know that they might be able to actually go to college, with information and encouragement.
Let's don't blame the victims.
