the wealthier and better-educated a country is,

Are we "wealthier"?.... as a general population, or just that 1%?

and are we better-educated? When is the last time a student failed anything..... even tho' they should have? Our airwaves are more censored than the USSR was! To be better-educated, you have to know more than the mythology of your own country. (we're #1!) To be better-educated, you have to use reasoning skills, not just memorize things for the test and then forget them.
