I invented a card game some years ago I call Democrat Hold’em. First all the players are dealt two cards. Then all women and minorities are dealt an extra card, to make up for past discrimination. Next, those player who received bad cards can complain to the dealer and show them their cards. Those that the dealer judges have received unfair cards get another one. The play continues to showdown. Rather than turn your card over, the dealer looks at each person’s hand, and distributes half the pot to several players according to who he decides deserves to win. The house keeps the other half. Players then tip the dealer to ensure they get a part of the next pot. When players cash out, the house takes another 45% of the players winnings.

Democrat Hold’em tournaments play the same, except everyone gets a trophy.

With your help I extract 10 bucks from your buddy. So now you have 20

Big Pig takes a 50% cut of all money that passes through their hooves. That's why this keeps coming up. That money is mostly wasted, and the nation becomes less wealthy. Building wealth is hard work. Destroying it and living off the cut is easy and fun.

Good point. Good trick. So he keeps the poor guy mad at the rich guy while he's got his hand in both their pockets.

Um.... What about outgo inequality?

Like how much goes out (wrote the Treasury another five figure check today) to support all this nonsense?

How about we rank people by how much they pay and see where those chips fall?
