The Democrats And Fairness
Once upon a time, on a farm in Texas, there was a little red hen who scratched about the barnyard until she uncovered quite a few grains of wheat.
She called all of her 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.
“Capitalist leech!” screamed the duck.
“I demand equal rights!” yelled the goose.
The pig just grunted in disdain.
And they all painted “Unfair!” picket signs and marched around and around the little red hen, shouting obscenities.
Then a government agent 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 the agent. “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.
The Democrats smiled. “Fairness” had been established. Individual initiative had died, but nobody noticed; perhaps no one cared, as long as there was free bread that “the rich” were paying for.

This is a good example of the operation and result of Marxist Liberal Democrat core philosophy.

The entire Democratic party philosophy doesn’t even reach to the level of Marxism, it’s actually the old “bread and circuses” mentality that reputedly dates back to the Romans. It is said that while watching the gladiatorial games at the Coliseum, one Roman senator stated that he was worried about the a possible revolt by the public because of the harsh treatment being meted out against some of them. The more senior senator replied that the ignorant masses would never rebel as long as the government provided them with bread and circuses. Circuses at the time meant amusements such as Gladiatorial Games and chariot races, a modern equivalent would be broadcast tv.
With the willingness of so many to collect a government check and sit on the sofa watching tv, while voting for those who won’t advance the country but will increase their welfare check on the backs of others, I have to ask what has really changed in 2000 years?
