- We yell for the Government to balance the budget, then take the last dime we have to make the down payment on a car.
- We whip the enemy in battle, then give them the shirt off our backs.

If you tell me which state you live in I'll tell you have much UNDER what the average allotment to public school per child your property taxes amount to.
