Dumb electorate leads to big, dumb government

Continuing right along …

Not only have we enabled the moochers and institutionalized plunder, but we are also raising generations of incompetency.  We have government education to thank for that.  Stick with me.

More research from a team at Cornell University found that “incompetent people are inherently unable to judge the competence of other people, or the quality of those people's ideas.”  An example they provide is on tax reform.  “They found that if people lack knowledge of tax reforms, it was incredibly unlikely voters would be able to identify the candidates who are actual experts.”

Considering that research, is it any reason why Americans vote for politicians like Barack Obama and shun tax reform ideas like the FairTax?  They wouldn’t know a decent tax reform or a tax expert if it literally bit them in the ass!

In one of the studies, researchers asked participants to grade grammar quizzes.  “We found that students who had done worse on the test itself gave more inaccurate grades to other students.”  In other words, incompetent people can’t even recognize the correct answers when they saw them.

I hope that now you are remembering what I’ve told you time and time again about our system of government education.  When our system of government schools was formed about 100 years ago the people in charge of creating the so-called “public” education structure made it clear in their writings  and comments that they wanted to create a system of education that would educate Americans only to the point that they would be good employees and good government subjects, but never a threat to the employer or the politician. 

Talk about executing a plan to perfection!
