Satire November 2008 - Page 4 - Politics Forum.org | PoFo

Wandering the information superhighway, he came upon the last refuge of civilization, PoFo, the only forum on the internet ...

Political and non-political satire; all those terribly biased analogies live here.

Oh advertisement, tell me who I should really trust for a working at home online service! I can trust you because you have had the same problems that I have had. I really don't want to get scammed again!

Little Red Hen & Joe The Plumber

The Little Red Hen called all of her Democrat neighbors together and said, 'If we plant this wheat, we shall have bread to eat. Who will help me plant it?'
'Not I,' said the cow.
'Not I,' said the duck.
'Not I,' said the pig.
'Not I,' said the goose.
'Then I will do it by myself,' said the little red hen, and so she did.
The wheat grew very tall and ripened into golden grain. 'Who will help me reap my wheat?' asked the Little Red Hen.
'Not I,' said the duck... above my pay grade.
'Out of my classification,' said the pig.
'I'd lose my seniority,' said the cow.
'I'd lose my unemployment compensation,' said the goose.
'Then I will do it by myself,' said Little Red Hen, and so she did.
At last it came time to bake the bread. 'Who will help me bake the bread?' asked Little Red Hen.
'That would be overtime for me,' said the cow.
'I'd lose my welfare benefits,' said the duck.
'I'm a dropout and never learned how,' said the pig.
'If I'm to be the only helper, that's discrimination,' said the goose.
'Then I will do it by myself,' said Little Red Hen.
She baked five loaves and held them up for all of her neighbors to see. They wanted some and, in fact, demanded a share. But the Little Red Hen said, 'No, I shall eat all five loaves.'
'Excess profits!' cried the cow. (Nancy Pelosi)
'Capitalist leech!' screamed the duck. (Barbara Boxer)
'I demand equal rights!' yelled the goose. (Jesse Jackson)
The pig just grunted in disdain. (Ted Kennedy)
And they all painted 'Unfair!' picket signs and marched around and around the little red hen, shouting obscenities.
Then the farmer (Obama) came. He said to the little red hen, 'You must not be so greedy.' We have to 'Share the Wealth'.
'But I earned the bread,' said Little Red Hen.
'Exactly,' said Barack the farmer. 'That is what makes our free enterprise system so wonderful. Anyone in the barnyard can earn as much as he wants. But under our modern government regulations, the productive workers must divide the fruits of their labor with those who are lazy and idle. Like I told Joe the Plumber, we have to 'Share the Wealth', yours that is.'
And they all lived happily ever after, including the little red hen, who smiled and clucked, 'I am grateful, for now I truly understand.' But her neighbors became quite disappointed in her. She never again baked bread because she joined the 'party' and got her bread free.
And all the Democrats smiled. 'Fairness' had been established.
Individual initiatives had died, but nobody noticed; perhaps no one cared...so long as there was free bread that 'the rich' were paying for.
EPILOGUE
Bill Clinton is getting $12 million for his memoirs. Hillary got $8 million for hers. That's $20 million for the memories from two people, who for eight years, repeatedly testified, under oath, that they couldn't remember anything.
IS THIS A GREAT BARNYARD OR WHAT?

:lol: A little oversimplified in terms of income tax as people targeted in Obamas plan dont actually create things. This story should be targeted at Corporate tax and Payroll tax not at a particular generic group of people following a generic idealogy.

Factory workers don't create things?

Small business owners don't create things?

Small business will find it harder to stay in business with higher taxes.

Republicans never have wit and their symbolism is garbage.

Agreed. I bet that "satire" has Karl Marx spinning in his grave.

Unless it's some kind of complicated Democrat satire. In which case it's just confusing.

missy, we all read crappy stories--we just share them on other threads. Satire is the quality topic.

Irony does tend to creep into satire threads quite often. Note's Kumatto's presence.

I do not get it, Thunderhawk, and the apostrophe-s after "Note" is not helping. Is it really sophisticated or really base? I'm no good at extremes.

Consider the apostrophe a typo.
