You've missed a few by the way:

A CHRISTIAN-You have two cows. You keep one and give one to your neighbor.

A CONSERVATIVE/REPUBLICAN-You have two cows. Your neighbor can get his own.

A DEMOCRAT-You have two cows. Your neighbor has none. You feel guilty for being successful. You vote people into office who tax your cows, forcing you to sell one to raise money to pay the tax. The people you voted for then take the tax money and buy a cow and give it to your neighbor. You feel righteous

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.

BUREAUCRACY, AMERICAN STYLE:-You have two cows. The government takes them both, shoots one, milks the other, pays you for the milk, then pours the milk down the drain.

AN AMERICAN CORPORATION-You have two cows. You sell one, and force the other to produce the milk of four cows. You are surprised when the cow drops dead.

A FRENCH CORPORATION-You have two cows. You go on strike 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.

A GERMAN CORPORATION-You have two cows. You reengineer them 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 break for lunch.

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 12 cows. You stop counting cows and open another bottle of vodka.

A MEXICAN CORPORATION-You think you have two cows, but you don't know what a cow looks like. You take a nap.

A SWISS CORPORATION-You have 5000 cows, none of which belongs to you. You charge for storing them for others.

A BRAZILIAN CORPORATION-You have two cows. You enter into a partnership with an American corporation. Soon you have 1000 cows and the American corporation declares bankruptcy.

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

THE TALIBAN-You have two cows. You turn them loose in the Afghan "countryside" and they both die. You blame the godless American infidels.

The one I'ld like top pick is one I made up myself:

COLONIAL IMPERIALISM, BRITISH STYLE-You have 2 cows and 1 guns, you go around and claim other land to grow your cows even if it means getting rid of it's inhabitants because either a) you didn't see them originally, b) you can't communicate with them or c) they're weaker than you.

While you feel this may be immoral all your neighbours are doing exactly the same thing.

I like those cows that just say "Henry" over and over again in a falsetto voice.

Henry... Henry... Henry... Henry... Henry... Henry... Henry... Henry... Henry...

LOL! Funny and well stated debate! I (to no ones surprise, I'm sure) would pick capitalism. I am the best judge of what to do with my cows. Just because I choose to sell them for a bull doesn't mean I wont share it with anyone els, it just means I get to decide who I share it with.

In communism, everyone is the government if not there is not government. Socialism: There are two cows in the state's capital, you take care of the cows and milk them, you sell the milk, the money remaining after your wages are paid goes to the government so that it can guarantee free healthcare, shelter and education.

Capitalism: You have two cows (capital), you hire a worker to milk them. You sell milk, you pay worker's wages, you get the rest of the money, you ignore the fact you don't deserve the wealth and think that you do deserve it because you owe the cow even though you keep the cow alive buy buying it food from the money you got by having the worker work for you.

Communism: Is a fantasy it does not and cannot exist.

Socialism: The government tells the workers they have two cows, they(the workers) milk them and take care of them and sell the milk and are paid what the government tells them that can have the rest of the money goes to the millionaire "government" office holders and they tell everyone that they now have free health care, education and shelter that is until all the cows die. Then all the workers (who have nothing of their own) watch as the shelter they have collapses and they all start to starve. That is everyone except the government who can buy milk from other country's with all the money they have acquired from the workers.

Capitalism: You have two (which you bought with the money you worked for) you hire someone to milk the cows (if you want to) you pay them a competitive rate so they can go out and buy their own cows and shelter and Superior health care.

A fantasy that cannot exist? prove it. Socialism, that is not true, I have free healthcare.

Either Capitalism or Anarchy. I can take care of myself..., or rather...., I don't have any qualms about shooting someone ;)

My pick is the MILITARY DICTATORSHIP, because this is the last decision I have to make. Suckers!!!
