Time was, when whether one was wealthy, poor, or in between, the vast majority of Americans kept up with the news and paid more attention to politics...even kids.

Sadly, now far too many people pay NO attention at all, have NO idea what is happening anywhere, NOT EVEN IN THEIR OWN COUNTRY, and are too damned stupid and uninformed to be allowed to vote!

I agree. I wish there was a basic civics test required to vote...and it should be in English only. Or, maybe you have to actually be a taxpayer to vote.
