Cows

A democrat has two cows. His neighbor has none. The democrat feels guilty for being successful and so to alleviate his glum, the democrat pushes for higher taxes so a cow can be had by everyone. A republican has two cows. His neighbor has none. The republican says, " What's that to me? I'm out for #1." A socialist has two cows. His neighbor has none. The government takes a cow from the socialist and gives his neighbor one. The socialist organizes a co-op now and teaches his neighbor how to manage the cow. A communist has two cows. His neighbor has none. The government takes all of the cows from everyone who then stand on line for many long hours to receive moldy cheese and milk that's gone sour.
