Explanation world rules in two-cow terms:
* 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 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.
* Capitalism: You have two cows. You sell one and buy a bull.
* Corporate: You have two cows. You sell one, force the other to produce the
milk of four cows and then act surprised when it drops dead.
* Democracy: You have two cows. The government taxes you to the point that
you must sell them both in order to support a man in a foreign country who
has only one cow which was a gift from your government.
