    I mean yeah, you yourself are here arguing the wrong facts, and I assume you consider yourself educated. You think a high school graduate in Iowa is going to have received financial literacy education? I severely doubt it.

    I also am actually going with the fact that the data you gave me is highly partisan in nature. Republicans are in another reality man. I think we’d be doing ourselves a disservice falling for their talking points.

      They didn’t only survey partisan people. That’s the percentage of people who responded and identified as Democrat/Republican. Political apathy polls also consistently sit at about half the country.

      And campaigning on, “you’re all just stupid” is a very brave move. That alone would answer the question the author so bravely poses and then ignores.
