The government seizes both and provides you with milk.A FASCIST:You have two cows. The government seizes both and sells you the milk. You join the underground and start a campaign of sabotage.DEMOCRACY, AMERICAN STYLE:You have two cows. The government taxes you to the point you have to sell both to support a man in a foreign country who has only one cow, which was a gift from your government.CAPITALISM, AMERICAN STYLE:You have two cows. You sell one, buy a bull, and build a herd of cows.BUREAUCRACY, AMERICAN STYLE:You have two cows.
