They don’t want to get it.
I live in a rural area. They don’t understand economics but they do understand dislike of others. Look at the poverty in the red states and they vote for the dumbest most corrupt and cowardly politicians that deliver nothing. They should be outraged that they are stealing benefits to give to the rich. They don’t care. No message will get through other than Fox News. You must have a vehicle to get our message through, but who owns the mainstream media ?
