        @WSJ The question is not crystal clear. One could argue that the 15% deal could be calculated on the money you put in.

        @WSJ @SandyPierce And they're allowed to vote. This election cycle has highlighted the ineptitude of the electorate on both sides.

        @WSJ No wander most "educated" Americans are scared of smarter, European, multi lingual, with Master degree emigrants. Debates avoid that.

        @WSJ Financial literacy and basic economics as a mandatory core course, is long overdue in our school systems.

        @WSJ @BUlawyer Of course, if a bank is offering you 15% interest, you're living in a different reality, so things might be different there.

        @WSJ I got 5/5 but I'm still broke. Clearly, there's more to this equation.

        @WSJ To answer that question "correctly" you have to assume. It doesn't say 15 % of what. The deal could've been 15% paid by check.

        .@WSJ I worry more that some of our fellow citizens cannot read, write or speak English properly, which has a direct impact on earnings.
