You give one to your neighbour.

COMMUNISM

The State takes both and gives you some milk.

FASCISM

Hope no one takes offecnce, its a little tounge in cheek but it is very true in a lot of respects. I didn't write this, but it made its way to me through an email chain so I can't cite the source.

Glad you didn't take offence! Theres a little truth in all of them, so no Nationalities are singled out. As for the whole going for lunch thing..... Almost all European countries do it... its in their working culture... but the Brits.... NO WAY!

Our tax is so high, we can't afford to take a break! I actually work for a rail firm, and a couple of years ago some German contractors turned up to do some work around Christmas time and got a couple of crates of beer from the car.... we had to tell them to give them away or they weren't allowed on site. They looked at our guys like we were crazy!

Same in France, always get a glass of wine with the lunch break, but not for us!

The Freemarket:

You have two cows, and you breed them with bulls to produce more cows, sell calves to others who do the same and keep the price of milk and beef down.

Clinton expalins that if you have two cows, you could breed them with bulls to produce more cows, then sell the calves to others who could then do the same to keppt the price of milk and beef down, and the world will prosper.

What Clinton dosn't tell you is that once you buy into the free market, the state will then steadily increase taxes on imports and exports, require you certify all your products and charge you a hansome amount of money for doing so, artificially raise the price of feed and then artificially lower the price of milk and beef so to continue to make a living you need to borrow more credit to apply leverage.

Ten years pass when you realise that Free Trade dosn't exist, and the only people who have prospered is multinational corporations who have benefitted from the little guy. China then takes the crown as being the world's largest economy, and the cycle begins again in reverse, with the same elite making more profit and the same little man getting poorer.

But to hide this fact Government and Banks pretend to fail and then move onto the next staple product to exploit.

All the more reason to get the government the hell out of the way no?

Is there a role for government to play? Sure there is. But that role should not
include stifling the ability of producers to reach consumers.
