The Underground hard core,dirt pore with no land to call home and therefore no interest in giving a one sided view,without further adieu here it is the Indy version of that...

Economic Models Explained With Cows...

SOCIALISM
> You have 2 cows that you worked to gain ownership of.
> The state forces you to give one to your neighbor whom does not work.
>Society expects you to be happy about this deal and wonders why you get angry yet refuses to listen to you believing it is selfish to not want to share your cow with someone in need (and it is selfish yet fair and cruel).
>Due to keeping society from lashing out now cows contain a computer chip that will monitor where the cow is at all times and also listens in on conversations that happen close to the cow and reports that information to the government much like living in a soft version of a Nazi world (I don't care if it's your Mom or Dad,report anyone to the government whom does not obey as after all we are all human and no one person is above society's laws....except the dictator(s) whom decide the laws for you of coarse) only where people are not killed with their cow but rather enslaved by regulations.To keep people happy with this people are asked to join social sites such as Facebook to show pictures of their cow and share the events of their day with said cow and the people are happy to have something new to do with their cow.

(But it all starts out so simple by being simply told...
SOCIALISM
> You have 2 cows.
> You give one to your neighbor.
....because to maintain a social event people have to like what they hear or they may (key word "may" as in "maybe") will not listen so why tell all those annoying details wink).




COMMUNISM
> You have 2 cows.
> The State takes both and gives you very little milk while telling you that you are getting your fair share.

FASCISM
> You have 2 cows.
> The State takes both and sells you some milk....and maybe asks that you Watch FOX NEWS and vote for one of the so called Republican representatives they have placed within the political party's higher ranks as the people whom work beneath that started the party to begin with get ignored due to not having enough money to be on TV and will never understand that they have been used the same as any other government but in a different way of being herded like a cow because after all every government is a structure that needs control over it's people because not everyone can be a King or a Queen.
>Now your cow is forced to wear a finely knitted sweater vest.
>To escape what will no doubt be Socialist regulations imposed upon the Fascist State That same day the State takes your cow(s) from you and exports them to China leaving you with nothing due to knowing that their version of the state will not always be in power.
>The next day you find the finely knitted sweater the cow once wore being sold in Wal-mart already on sale for half price to degrade the value of the dollar one sweater at a time and one dollar at a time.
>The cow that used to live with you sends you a letter due to assuming your money is worthless by now and so the cow imagines you can't afford to have Internet so in the letter the cow tell's you that now the cow has opened it's own business in China manufacturing sweaters.
>The cow begins to wonder if Fascism is the same as it started as or if somewhere in the world economy the lines begin to blur(?!).

NAZISM
> Disguised as a big government that cares about you the State gives you 2 cows to earn your trust.
>A bit of time passes and the dictator that regulates the laws of the State decides you do not belong in said dictator's insane version of what a perfect world would be like so the State takes both and shoots you and the cows and then by regulation is forced to shoot their self while opposing forces shoot all whom remain.

BUREAUCRATS
> You have 2 cows.
> The State takes both, shoots one, milks the other, and then throws the milk away...than draws a picture of a cow and talks about the life of a cow on C-Span (government parliament channel) where maybe 2 or 3 people in the entire world will actually watch the show on TV but the show is still on TV anyway because it's an awesome place to look important and shuffle the people's money and cows around.

TRADITIONAL CAPITALISM
> You have two cows.
> You sell one and buy a bull.
> Your herd multiplies, and the economy grows.
> You sell them and retire on the income.

SURREALISM
> You have two giraffes.
> The government requires you to take harmonica lessons.

AN AMERICAN CORPORATION (WITHIN THE USA OR SIMPLY STATED AS AN AMERICAN CORPORATION MAY CHANGE HOW MANY FORMS A PERSON HAS TO RESPOND TO WITHIN A TIME LIMIT WHILE BEING ASKED INVASIVE AND UNLAWFUL QUESTIONS SUCH AS WHAT POLITICAL PARTY ARE YOU AFFILIATED WITH BEFORE RECEIVING SAID COWS *eh hem Target* OR RAIN CHECK FOR A LATER DATE IN TIME WHEN COWS WILL BE REWARDED TO PERSON WHOM WORKS FOR COWS...FYI YOU'RE NOT ALLOWED TO LOOK AT THE FARM WHERE THE COWS ARE EVEN THOUGH THE ODDS ARE THEY WERE YOUR COWS THAT WERE STOLEN FROM YOUR FAMILY AT SOME POINT IN TIME).
> You have two cows.
> You sell one, and force the other to produce the milk of four cows.
> Later, you hire a consultant to analyze why the cow has dropped dead.
>By new regulations each single cow will be worked at the rate of 3 cows and forced to maintain safety procedures that keep the cow from being over worked making the cows job very annoying until the cow quite's the job to work at another job that does the exact same thing,now the business hires another heard of cows to stay in business by keeping production ratings up and the heard of cows gets shuffled from one business to the next until dead and replaced by the next generation of cows.If there are not enough cows from the new generation than the business starts importing cows.

ENRON VENTURE CAPITALISM
> You have two cows.
> You sell three of them to your publicly listed company, using letters of credit opened by your brother-in-law at the bank, then execute a debt/equity swap with an associated general offer so that you get all four cows back, with a tax exemption for five cows.
> The milk rights of the six cows are transferred via an intermediary to a Cayman Island Company secretly owned by the majority shareholder who sells the rights to all seven cows back to your listed company.
> The annual report says the company owns eight cows, with an option on one more.
> You sell one cow to buy a new president of the United States , leaving you with nine cows.
> No balance sheet provided with the release.
> The public then buys your bull.

A FRENCH CORPORATION
> You have two cows.
> You go on strike, organize a riot, and block the roads, because you want three cows.

A 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 while the original sized cows are cut into a billion pieces and sold in vending machines along with other odd foods such as tadpoles (baby frogs) to be eaten.
> You then create a clever cow cartoon image called 'Cowkimon' and market it worldwide.

A GERMAN CORPORATION
> You have two cows.
> You re-engineer them while they are strapped to a table and wide awake so they live for 100 years, eat once a month, and milk themselves.

AN ITALIAN CORPORATION
> You have two cows, but you don't know where they are.
> You decide to have lunch with some beer or wine and later that day for no reason hold a grudge with the cows you lost and when the cows return home you are bitter and angry at the cows for the rest of their life and refuse to accept the cows apology of "Mooo...moo...",the cows try to escape but enjoy Italy too much and learn to live with the complaining cow herder in a broken yet abusive relationship between cow and cow herder.

A RUSSIAN CORPORATION
> You have two cows.
> You count them and learn you have five cows.
> You count them again and learn you have 42 cows.
> You count them again and learn you have 2 cows.
> You stop counting cows and open another bottle of vodka.
>When the vodka is gone you are no longer in Russia yet are expected to return to Russia with more vodka for all.
>The next day you and the cows are put to work in extremely harsh working conditions while knowing latter that evening there will be a big festival with more vodka to enjoy.
>You and the cows become very strong yet very tired almost perfect muscle machines for the greater good of the corporation of Russia.

A SWISS CORPORATION
> You have 5000 cows. None of them belong to you.
> You charge the owners for storing them.

A CHINESE CORPORATION
> You have two cows.
> You have 300 people milking them.
> You claim that you have full employment, and high bovine productivity.
> You arrest the newsman who reported the real situation.

AN INDIAN CORPORATION
> You have two cows.
> You worship them.

A BRITISH CORPORATION
> You have two cows.
> Both are mad (unlike everyone else I'm not about to go easy on the UK whom is no longer the empire of yesteryear but in truth has become a theme park for other countries to visit and laugh at much as I will be laughed at for bringing attention to that fact but after all I am the bastard son of the UK politically speaking so it's only fitting that we take a bow together)...and so both cows are mad cows because the unrealistic laws that are imposed upon the farmers whom have said cows do not apply to reality and to keep all in order the farmers start feeding the cows low quality feed and this makes the cows defective with disease,because the UK is so flawless this could never happen in the UK wink people are conformed in society to not speak of this and over time all is forgotten and now you are given 2 fish instead of 2 cows.

AN IRAQI CORPORATION
> Everyone thinks you have lots of cows.
> You tell them that you have none and refuse to show anyone that there are no cows and start to threaten those whom ask if you have cows (maybe there were cows but they were exported before the inspector of cows arrived but no one cares for that concept because that concept is attached to another concept that is very bad and unpopular for how to run a cow company as people take their emotion and disappointment and attach all that to the next big idea that comes to town with more cows (again and again for 100 plus years yet is still called something new or a change to something new but what the hell...it's better than the alternative sorta.lol yet continues to fuel the original while gaining more power to enforce stronger laws for a regulated future but that's not so bad when being protected...it has to be "as good as it can be" eventually right?LOL).
> No-one believes you, so they bomb the **** out of you and invade your country.
> You still have no cows, but at least now you are part of Democracy....and may have more choices than Vodka...but it's not simply given to you...you have to work for it (lol).

AN AUSTRALIAN CORPORATION
> You have two cows.
> Business seems pretty good.
> You close the office and go to the pub for a few beers to celebrate.

A NEW ZEALAND CORPORATION
> You have two cows.
> The one on the left looks very attractive...sexually (XD ROFL!!!!).

A GREEK CORPORATION
> You have two cows.
> You borrow against the cows from the Germans
> You kill the cows and make Slovakia
> You can’t pay the interest so the Germans lend you more money
> You can’t pay the interest so the Germans lend you more money
> You can’t pay the interest so the Germans lend you more money
> You can’t pay the interest so the Germans lend you more money .....
