  • In socialism, if you have two cows, the government takes one and gives it to your neighbor.
  • In communism, the government takes both cows and gives you the milk.
  • In fascism, you keep both cows, the government takes the milk and sells it back to you.
  • In New Dealism, the government shoots one cow and pours the others milk down the drain.
  • In nazism, the government takes both cows and shoots you.
  • In capitalism, you sell one cow and buy a bull.

What do we call what is going on now?
