They love the uneducated and they’re not quiet about it either.
We won the evangelicals. We won with young. We won with old. We won with highly educated. We won with poorly educated. I love the poorly educated.
Donald Trump, 2016. https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/onpolitics/2016/02/24/donald-trump-nevada-poorly-educated/80860078/
its a part of the greatness they want to bring back to america.. slavery, uneducated, poor houses, zero industry regulation... you know, greatness!
lets all party like its 1825
Measles, too.
Just don’t mention the 91% tax rate for the rich from back then
And this means they won't get educated. People who are uneducated cannot easily find work. Unemployed people are more likely to resort to crime to make ends meet if they are desperate. It almost seems as if it's better for everyone to have kids go to school to keep crime rates down in the future.
eyup. A lot of laws and policies even into this millenium in major cities like mine were made to get people to bring their kids to school and talk with police and it made a significant difference in some pretty bad neighborhoods. Now it goes back to gang control likely.
The upper classes have much higher rates of criminal activity
Is it prosecuted? Tax fraud of the wealthy isn't a real crime, if they really have to they just pay the money back.
But uneducated people are more desperate to work for exploitative employers. And if they commit crimes they can make profits for private prison companies. Republicans love the uneducated.
Yes, that's why they do this.
We're becoming very much like the countries people fled to get here.
