The State forces you to give one to your neighbor.
COMMUNISM
You have 2 cows.
The State takes both and gives you some milk.
DEMOCRATIC SOCIALISM

The State takes both and sells you some milk.

BUREAUCRATISM

TRADITIONAL CAPITALISM
You have two cows.
You sell one and buy a bull.
Your herd multiplies, and the economy grows.
You sell them and retire on the income.
CONTEMPORARY WALL STREETISM
You have two cows.
You sell one, bundle the other with a goat, a mule,
and two dry cows.
You pile into the derivatives market, buy a Gulfstream
and when it all comes down around your ears...
You go to the government for a bailout.
Good one!
You put the bundle on the derivative market,
all five die but still get AAA rating from the FFA,...
Great post
BELTWAY RINOISM
You take the two cows, sell them to the Chinese
and lay-off the farmer. Then you import milk from
China at 5000% markup, take your kickbacks, and tell
the voters that this new globalism will be good for
them in the long run.
