Open-mindedness and spirit of intelligent objective inquiry is dangerous to certain groups. The goal is to keep poor in the dark that way they will continue to vote against their own interests. If you enlighten them they will want affordable comprehensive healthcare, living wages, paid maternal leave,......That would seriously affect the bottom line of the top percentage earners of the population.
