how true it is!
:p
DEMOCRAT
You have two cows. Your neighbor has none. You feel guilty for being successful. Barbra Streisand sings for you.
REPUBLICAN
You have two cows. Your neighbor has none. So what's the problem??
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 where you have to sell both cows 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.
AMERICAN CORPORATION
You have two cows. You sell one, lease it back to yourself, and do an IPO on the 2nd one. You force the two cows to produce the milk of four cows. You are surprised when one cow drops dead. You spin an announcement to the analysts stating you have down-sized and so are reducing your expenses. .....Your stock goes up.
FRENCH CORPORATION
You have two cows. You go on strike because you want three cows. You go to lunch and drink wine. Life is good.
JAPANESE CORPORATION
You have two cows. You redesign them so they are one tenth the size of an ordinary cow and produce twenty times the milk. They learn to travel on unbelievably crowded trains. Most are at the top of their class at cow school.
GERMAN CORPORATION
You have two cows. You engineer them so they are all blond, drink lots of beer, give excellent quality milk, and run a hundred miles an hour. Unfortunately they also demand 13 weeks of vacation per year and are required to eat only the finest hay and grains.
ITALIAN CORPORATION
You have two cows, but you don't know where they are. While ambling around, you see a beautiful woman start up a conversation and break for lunch and drink a bottle of wine. Life is good.
RUSSIAN CORPORATION
You have two cows. You drink some vodka. You count your cows again and learn you have five. You have some more vodka. You count them again and learn you have 42 cows. The Mafia shows up and promptly takes however many cows you have.
TALIBAN CORPORATION
You have all the cows in Afghanistan, which are two. You don't milk them because you cannot touch any creature's private parts. Then you kill them and claim a US bomb blew them up because they want to take over the world and destroy your wonderful lifestyle.
IRAQI CORPORATION
You have two cows. They go into hiding. They send you audio tapes of their mooing and video tapes of themselves grazing.
POLISH CORPORATION
You have two bulls. Employees are regularly maimed and killed attempting to milk them.
FLORIDA CORPORATION
You have a black cow and a brown cow. Everyone votes for the best-looking one. Some of the people, who like the brown one best, vote for the black one. Some people vote for both. Some people vote for neither. Some people can't figure out how to vote at all. Finally, a panel of guys from out-of-state tell you which is the best-looking cow because you don't know how to vote!
CALIFORNIAN
You have a cow and a bull. The bull is depressed. It has spent its life living a lie. It goes away for two weeks. It comes back after a taxpayer-paid sex-change operation. You now have two cows. One makes milk; the other doesn't. You try to sell the transgender cow. Its lawyer sues you for discrimination. You lose in court. You sell the milk-generating cow to pay the damages. You now have one rich, transgender, non-milk-producing cow. You change your business to beef. PETA pickets your farm. Jesse Jackson makes a speech in your driveway. Cruz Bustamante calls for higher farm taxes to help "working cows". Hillary Clinton calls for the nationalization of 1/7 of your farm because "It Takes a Village" to raise your children. Gray Davis signs a law giving your entire farm to Mexican immigrants. The L.A. Times quotes five anonymous cows claiming you groped their teats. You declare bankruptcy and shut down all operations. The transgender cow starves to death. The L.A. Times' analysis prints an article declaring how your business failure is Bush's fault.
