The Little Red Hen - Or Obamanomics 101

The Little Red Hen

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...
"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 the little red hen, and so she did.
At last it came time to bake the bread.
"Who will help me bake the bread?" asked the 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 the 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. (Barney Frank)
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."

"But I earned the bread," said the 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."

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 initiative had died, but nobody noticed; perhaps no one
cared..so long as there was free bread paid for by "the rich".

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?
