Cows in the Government

by Aaron Brazell on January 7, 2005

How to understand government by understanding cows…

Socialism: You have two cows. You keep one and give one to your neighbor.

Communism: You have two cows. The government takes them both and provides you with the milk.

Fascism: You have two cows. The government takes them and sells you the milk.

Bureaucracy: You have two cows, the government takes them both, shoots one, milks the other, pays you for the milk, and then pours it down the drain.

Democracy: You have two cows. Government taxes force you to sell them in order to support a man in a foreign country who has only one cow which was a gift from your government.

Capitalism. You have two cows. You sell one and buy a bull.

Thank you Beauraucrash for the lesson.
