SOCIALISM
You have 2 cows.
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
You have 2 cows.
The State takes both, promises more free cows, lets you vote and gives you sour milk.

FASCISM
You have 2 cows.
The State takes both and sells you some milk.

NAZISM
You have 2 cows.
The State takes both and shoots your wife and kids.

BUREAUCRATISM
You have 2 cows.
The State takes both, shoots one, milks the other, and then throws the milk away.

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.

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.
