Ma'am;...Just because math is logical does not mean there is a logical way to teach it... People do not, and never did learn logic by learning logic; but rather, it is nature that teaches logic, and out of nature people have formulated an understanding of logical behavior...Now, it is one thing to teach kids math; but to demand an exactness of calculation or understanding of them to be found no where but in science is stupid... Do you think our economy adds up???If so, why all the necessity of credit??? Does any household budget, or national budget hold up??? Not exactly... Governments inflate the currency to avoid taxing the rich, while inflation robs from everyone, and from the respect we should have in our money, and adds insecurity of the future to our many other problems...Is this the proper role of government; to run from problems, and spread them far and wide in its wake??? Let me give you another example...No one working for a living ever makes enough in wages to buy back all that he will produce in value...Okay... The government gets some, and the employer gets some and waste takes much; but it is expected that the excess will be sold overseas as exports...This inequalities of values, what the worker has, and what all those who do not work have, means they have an edge; more money...Fine, for them, because more money in fact means they can buy up the common wealth, and that is the ultimate meaning of all those numbers: Property...So; if the worker has any property, the family farm, or the like, he can live for a time making up his short wages by selling all his real wealth... Eventually, the situation should reach the point where the rich have spent all their excess, and must go through the cycle of employment, production, and selling to get more profit for more purchase of the commonwealth...What has happened, is that math has been discarded, and money has been put into the hands of the rich to buy ever more of the commonwealth, or what is better still, to give a mortgage on the commonwealth so that people will bleed themselves dry to have it , and have enough money to get by...The rich control the country because they control the math... You can sell the family farm for 200k, and wake up tomorrow finding your money is worth190k...Is the land not worth as much as it always was???But liquidity, added at the top, and when necessary to all parts of society -robs value from what should be a fixed value....Rather than doing this government might better tax property, and force it to produce value, or be thrown onto the market at a rate people can afford... What it does with numbers defies logic, and will end in ruin, and has resulted in ruin...It is easy enough to say that capitalism does not work...If it does not work in one land it will not work better expanded to the whole world.....The numbers do not add up, and can only be made to work, short term, by fuzzy math, and fuzzy logic...The problem is that the people cannot live without their land, and that even in private hands the country's property must still support the population... The rich seem determined to find what minimum subsistence this people will settle for...Will we be third world, or fourth??? Rich people require a poor nation... Rich people require a poor government...There is no point in saying we have the numbers...They have the tanks and the machine guns... We have let ourselves be mastered by math... We have let numbers, and those who count them turn us into a nation of slaves...Of such people are dark ages made, hopeless, ignorant, believing...If we will be free, it will be because we have found the means to make numbers do as we please, instead of trading in our lives, and all our wealth by the day, the hour, and the minute for a dollar having no certain value...There seem to be little point of having a whole nation jump through its anus for a buck when the government can just print them up as they desire, to conceal their want of will, and of nerve...Look at how numbers are used... They first short us of wages, and then force us to cover our shorts with credit which makes us shorter still of the necessities of life...And the government facilitates such injustice...It is time for us to face the real problem...Thanks... .Sweeney
