Dear Jim Bob,
OK…the Democrats are spending money like there is no end to it. It seems like more and more people are going to be getting money for doing nothing. I heard this week that people on unemployment in Massachusetts can get up to $48,000 a year for doing nothing. Jim Bob, when more people are getting than there are people paying, what’s going to happen ?

Dear Denny,
When I get questions like this I try to think like a Democrat (which is really hard for me to do) to answer it.
Any good left-winger would say that the evil rich must be treated like dairy cows. Just drive them into the barn a couple of times a day – hook up the automatic milking machines and suck um dry. As long as you can maintain control of the cattle and can keep driving them into the barn, you can keep getting all their milk.
Denny, did you know that all dairy cattle dry up eventually and have to be replaced by younger, fresher cows? Well, in the human economy the same principle works. When it becomes futile to keep what you earn and it becomes easier to take than to work hard - people will quit working hard. When you remove incentive, you actually destroy the willingness to work.
When the willingness to work goes, the people needed to replace all the worn out “Milk Cows” won’t be there. The goal of people will not be the creation of wealth or success. The goal will be to move to Massachusetts!
There’s only one problem. When everybody moves to Massachusetts, there won’t be any milk left to suck up and give to all the people who want it.
