Yet revenues in radio are dropping everywhere as younger people eschew it in favor of online services (my 23 year old does not even own a radio).

Our kids are not captive to Mom and Dad running either the AM or FM dial in the car. They just use their device ( insert it's name ), forget about Sirus or Disk in the car, they get Spotify and listen to their tailor made music. He is also running against the wind with kids communication via twitter, snapchat, instagram. How does he teach them about the subtleties of a Flat or Fair Tax vs the current mess when they have the attention span ( because of their devices ) of a gnat!

And that is fostered in the schools as their is no time to discuss anything in depth while pedaling to the metrics of Common Core and every other education mandate. Add to that their "Freedom" to discuss is truly totalitarian as they can't go against the new Statist Heterodoxy or they will be destroyed and they know it.

FWIW, he needs to hire some 15 yr old's to get the Conservative message out or he starts spinning the disk at a Rave that has lyrics about the Founding Fathers.

It is sad, we are dinosaurs and we are shoveling it against the tide...

This is why schools have bells and periods, to prevent the habit of investigating anything in depth.

The lesson of the bells is to study a subject when and how someone else tells you to.

Mass government schooling has always been about establishing intellectual dependence.
