I bet 50% of America doesn’t know that 25% means a ratio of 1 to 4.

Or that it means 25 out of 100 ....

Part of this is incredible mathematical stupidity ....

... brought to you by the NEA.

So, we’re getting a cultural double whammy.

FYI, 25% is a ratio of 1 to 3.

1 to 4 is 20%.

No bashing intended, just a respectful correction.

I live with a typical Obama supporter: absolutely loves free food and healthcare, sleeps most of the day, doesn't work, can't follow instructions or do simple math, is unjustifiably vain and envious. She also has a nice fur coat and is spayed. Living with a Democrat is possible, but only if they have no opposable thumbs to open things.
