Fair question - there may well be a link. I would suggest the number is as high as it is because the educational system in this country does more harm than good.
Dumbing down the sheep has been a mainstay of third world countries for eons. I lived in a couple of them for 16 years and even then I was amazed at what people don't know or aren't capable of understanding, primarily because education wasn't considered or really offered as a necessity. Yet, when the masses get educated, they would learn of the errors of their previous uneducated ways, giving rise to populist revolts.
The one thing we have going for us here is the taste of liberty and freedom...now that those are in jeopardy, will the "educated" fight to keep them from being further eroded? This educated mind would like to believe they will...time will tell.
Heads on the ground, very clever, I dig it.
Is that why 82% of the population work for others? Its a guess, but I don't believe many who have worked for themselves would take the 100.
