The government takes one to give to someone else. COMMUNISM - You have two cows. The government takes both and gives you the milk. FASCISM - You have two cows. The government takes both and sells you the milk. NAZISM - You have two cows. The government takes both and shoots you. BUREAUCRACY - You have two cows. The government takes both, shoots one, and pours the other's milk down the drain. CAPITALISM - You have two cows. You sell one and buy a bull. BUSH's NEW CAPITALISM - You have two cows. You sell one, buy a bull; you take out a huge loan on the cow, and ignore both the cow and the loan from that point on; then you try to milk the bull, and then blame the Japanese for its lack of production. |
