    54% of Americans read at below a grade 6 level.

    Welfare is may litterally just mean ‘moocher’ to an American who has been drowned in propaganda their whole life.

      I read about that and i’m not sure what to make of it. My nephew is in second grade soon, and he can read pretty well. He doesn’t like it, because it’s still hard for him. But i’m sure in 2 or 3 years he can read well enough to become president of the united states and not be a nazi. So i’m not sure if the reading level is the problem.
