    Barnyard politics

    DEMOCRAT: You have two cows. Your neighbor has none. You feel guilty for being successful. You vote people into office that put a tax on your cows, forcing you to sell one to raise money to pay the tax. The people you voted for then take the tax money, buy a cow and give it to your neighbor. You feel righteous.

    REPUBLICAN: You have two cows. Your neighbor has none. So? ......It's not your fault he didn't stay in school. Never-the-less, ultimately you take pity on your neighbor and see that his children have milk, while you encourage him to accept responsibility for his situation and to work hard to acquire his own cows.

    SOCIALIST: You have two cows. The government takes one and gives it to your neighbor. You form a cooperative to tell him how to manage his cow.

    COMMUNIST: You have two cows. The government seizes both and provides you with milk. You wait in line for hours to get it. It is expensive and sour.

    CAPITALISM, AMERICAN STYLE: You have two cows. You sell one, buy a bull, and build a herd of cows.

    DEMOCRACY, AMERICAN STYLE: You have two cows. The government taxes you to the point you have to sell both to support a man in a foreign country who has only one cow, which was a gift from your government.

    BUREAUCRACY, AMERICAN STYLE: You have two cows. The government takes them both, shoots one, milks the other, pays you for the milk, and then pours the milk down the drain.

    Sounds about right. Except the democrat part, you forgot about the spoiled kids who never had to work for anything being raised by Demo parents and now believe they should be given cows for the rest of their lives, while they run through the fields dodging cow flop with flowers in their hair drinking $6 a cup Starbucks coffee and singing Kumbya.

    We need a big big broom..for the clean sweep..vote em all out.

    There is a major league power shift going on here folks and they know it...

    Out with the Baby Boom parents..in with the Boomers (our generation) they are trying desperatley to hold on by their finger nails and take every last piece of the pie we are working for before they get ousted..pretty obvious to me..

    Bama working for the old school..politically..now is the time to re-claim what we worked for..of course as alwasys in my humble opine..

    just a thought..
