Cows & Politics Explained

A CHRISTIAN DEMOCRAT: You have two cows. You keep one and give one to your
neighbor.

A SOCIALIST: You have two cows. The government takes one and gives it to
your neighbor.

AN AMERICAN REPUBLICAN: You have two cows. Your neighbor has none. So what?

AN AMERICAN DEMOCRAT: You have two cows. Your neighbor has none. You feel
guilty for being successful. You vote people into office who tax your cows,
forcing you to sell one to raise money to pay the tax. The people you voted
for then take the tax money and buy a cow and give it to your neighbor. You
feel righteous.

A COMMUNIST: You have two cows. The government seizes both and provides you
with milk.

A FASCIST: You have two cows. The government seizes both and sells you the
milk. You join the underground and start a campaign of sabotage.

DEMOCRACY, AMERICAN STYLE: You have two cows. The government taxes you to
the point you have to sell both to support a man in a foreign country who
has only one cow, which was a gift from your government.

CAPITALISM, AMERICAN STYLE: You have two cows. You sell one, buy a bull, and
build a herd of cows.

BUREAUCRACY, AMERICAN STYLE: You have two cows. The government takes them
both, shoots one, milks the other, pays you for the milk, then pours the
milk down the drain.

other to produce the milk of four cows. You are surprised when the cow drops
dead.

A FRENCH CORPORATION: You have two cows. You go on strike because you want
three cows.

one-tenth the size of an ordinary cow and produce twenty times the milk. You
then create clever cow cartoon images called Cowkimon and market them
World-Wide.

A GERMAN CORPORATION: You have two cows. You reengineer them so they live
for 100 years, eat once a month, and milk themselves.

shepherd's pie, please.

are. You break for lunch.

You claim full employment, high bovine productivity, and arrest the newsman
who reported on them.

AN ISRAELI CORPORATION: There are these two Jewish cows, right? They open a
milk factory, an ice cream store, and then sell the movie rights. They send
their calves to Harvard to become doctors. So, who needs people?
