Article shows the truly misinformed and ignorance of rural America

31. Yes. They are heavily propagandized by well-funded libertarian billionaires and their think-tanks.

They are not stupid, though, any more than the peoples who were freed when the old USSR or even Nazi Germany fell.

This is a major policy issue. We must ensure our K-12, colleges and universities actually have freedom to speak the truth.

As to the giant phallic reality that is the right-wing propaganda apparatus, ejaculating its lies to keep people ignorant and living in fear...

We could fix that with one policy change plus enforcement: We could overturn the legal doctrine of shareholder primacy, which holds shareholder profits above truth in news, over workers, over consumers and over the earth itself.

Shareholder primacy could be changed to a stakeholder approach to corporate governance that holds truth in media, worker and consumer interests, and the environement EQUAL to shareholder profits.

A minor change in tax policy that drives down CEO 'compensation' not to exceed 10 times what their average worker earns.

Make these two policy changes, and ensure our education system teaches rhetoric, debate, real history, real science, all the ologies, and solid mathematics, and we would be in business.

Because the truth is that our society is hampered by the parasitism of these libertarian billionaires, which exemplify the failures of our society and our Congress around tax and social policy. We should not have billionaires.
