-Caveat Lector- Feudalism: You have two cows. Your lord takes some of the milk, and screws your pretty daughter.
Fascism: You have two cows. The government takes both, hires you to take care of them, sells you the milk, kills the cows and sells the meat to a fast food corporation.. Communism: You don't have two cows. You must take care of the government's cows. The government gives you milk powder. Capitalism: You have two cows which you bought from a farmer who was driven off his land by competition with government subsidized corporate farms. You hire the desperate farmer for peanuts to work with the cows. You sell one and buy a bull. Your herd multiplies, and the economy grows. You sell the herd to McDonald's, fire the farmer, and retire on the income. Everyone thinks you're great. The farmer kills himself. Corporate Capitalism: You have two cows. You bought them with a government loan to study bovine flatulence as an advanced energy source. You borrow 80% of the forward value of the two cows from your bank, then buy another cow with 5% down and the rest financed by the seller on a note callable if your market cap goes below $20B at a rate 2 times prime. You now sell three cows to your publicly listed company, using letters of credit opened by your brother-in-law at a 2nd bank, then execute a debt/equity swap with an associated general offer so that you get four cows back, with a tax exemption for five cows. The milk rights of six cows are transferred via an intermediary to a Cayman Island company secretly owned by the majority shareholder who sells the rights to seven cows back to your listed company. The annual report says the company owns eight cows, with an option on one more and this transaction process is upheld by your independent auditor and no Balance Sheet provided with the press release that announces that Enron as a major owner of cows will begin trading cows via the Internet site COW (cows on web). Furthermore, you have cornered the market on cow flatulence which you have agreed to sell to the Governor of California at premium prices. Then you sell your stock to the dumb greedy middle class and take the money and run. The rich think you're great. The lawyers think you're great. Wall Street puts up your picture in it's Secret Hall of Fame. I am sure you now fully understand how it works. ================== Economic analysis by Chuck U.
