Somebody said that, I don't know who. He must have seen this.
H. L. Mencken wrote something like that which has been frequently summarized as "No one ever went broke underestimating the intelligence of the American public."
However, the correct attribution appears to be, "No one in this world, so far as I know—and I have researched the records for years, and employed agents to help me—has ever lost money by underestimating the intelligence of the great masses of the plain people. Nor has anyone ever lost public office thereby."
