"IF" , if you could educate people about something as simple and as easy as voting we wouldn't be in the mess we're in now and you think you can educate these people about investing and the market ? Most of the people we're talking about don't trust the goverment or anyone that is connected with it and with Wall Streets history of screwing over Joe Blow you're not going to get the people to trust them.
