Like all good jokes there is some truth behind it. I love the British and Russian Capitalism ones!

Some more cows:
AN AMERICAN REPUBLICAN: You have two cows. Your neighbor has none. So what?
AN AMERICAN 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.

. Hey, we have a great sense of humor here in the 'States' and are quite capable of laughing at ourselves. And you forgot one: National Rifle Association Capitalism
You have two cows and you can damn well keep and conceal both because it is your God-given right to do so and anyone who says differently is not to be trusted since they are likely communists, socialists, atheists, or any number of other ‘ists’ that true, red-blooded, American cow-owning defenders of the Constitution want nothing to do with because they only want to take our cows from us and as God Almighty is my witness they can have my cows when they pry them from my cold dead hands!  .

The government pays you incentives for your over production which you must pour down the drain. You go out and buy two more cows with the incentive money

You have two cows, but no LMAO Smiley - now, where is a LMAO Smiley, when you need one?
Great stuff, Corsaire and all - I'll copy and translate it.

No surprise, the best team won. I will now cheer for Germany (I lived there for 5 years so I am a little german... ) In my pre-World Cup previsions, I had Germany in final after beating France in quarters and Brasil in half final. So far, so good !
