>BUREAUCRATIC SOCIALISM: You have two cows. The government takes
>them and puts them in a barn with everyone else's cows. They are cared

>deduction for keeping five cows. The milk rights of six cows are
>transferred via a Panamanian intermediary to a Cayman Islands company
>secretly owned by the majority shareholder, who sells the rights to all
