Perspective on Politics and Economics

Part 2

Captialism - 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.

Under the new farm program the government pays you to shoot one, milk the other, and then pours the milk down the drain.

American Corporation

You have two cows.

You sell one, lease it back to yourself and do an IPO on the 2nd one.

You force the two cows to produce the milk of four cows.

You are surprised when one cow drops dead.

You spin an announcement to the analysts stating you have downsized and are reducing expenses.

Your stock goes up.
