Love the thread, I have wanted to get another copy of this ever since the Political Science Professor at N.M. State handed it out in 81. He was the
original author but don't remember his name. It was titled "What if you haven't got a Cow". The wording was slightly different but basically the
same. The original was lost during moves and as time passed but I never forgot it. It wasn't copy righted so no worries there.
Thanks OP for posting it
BUREAUCRACY: You have two cows. At first the government regulates what you can feed them and when you can milk them. Then it pays you not to milk
them. Then it takes both, shoots one, milks the other and pours the milk down the drain. Then it requires you to fill out forms accounting for the
missing cows.
The original was: BUREAUCRACY: The government has two cows. Shoots one, milks the other and pours the milk down the drain.
Nazism: You have two cows. Your neighbor shoots you and takes your cows.
