Math Lesson!

"In the next place, the state governments are, by the very theory of the constitution, essential constituent parts of the general government. They can exist without the latter, but the latter cannot exist without them."
Joseph Story, Commentaries on the Constitution, 1833


Good morning Friends,
I'm sitting here with a cup of  Eight O'Clock Bean coffee.  Smells and tastes so good.  Especially since I'm sipping out of the most beautiful cup ever made:  A Memaw cup?  You mean you've never seen one? Of course not.  This was made especially for me by somebody called "Sugarbear".

 Never knew, yes, I never knew coffee could taste so good!  Maybe I should have paid attention in Math Class back in Martin County to be able to "measure" the perfect amount for coffee.  To be sure, they used the same books as our beloved Governor did when she was in school.  Or those "top dogs" at the Bureau of Labor and Statistics!  And Prez Obama!  On second thought I'm not too sure..about the Prez!

So it's the Martin County Math classes that have been the problem!  Nahhhh...it's the "Memaw" cup I've been missing!  Whatever it was, the "brew" is just perfect now.

Anyway let's do some math.  Not Obama and Perdue Math.  Real math.  Let's see how simple it is.  Fundamentals first.
1)  Lesson #1: 1 + 1 = 2. 

Not 1 + 1 = whatever the child wants it to be because we're afraid of "hurting their feelings".
2)  QUIZ: Joe Citizen pays 15% tax.  He works at Caterpillar.  He makes $40,000.  How much in taxes does he pay (let's be nice and pretend federal only).   To solve this equation, liberals, you take 40,000 and multiply by .15.  The answer is:  6000.  Put that in correct logic: Joe Citizen pays $6,000 in taxes.
