After losing the debate with Tom Thompson, the
President was reluctant to initiate another ridiculous campaign for a liberal
idea that could be attacked by conservative Tom. But after a couple of weeks,
the President was ready to promote another “way to the left” idea that would
buy some more votes from the uneducated and unemployed voters. His plan was to
promise equal income to all citizens regardless of their sex, education, or
employment status. Not only free health care but free food and free alcoholic
beverages for everybody and you don’t have to work for it. Who wouldn’t vote
for that?! Oh, and everyone gets a free luxury car with a lifetime supply of
premium gasoline.
When Tom asked him, “How the hell are you going to
pay for all that?”
The President
said, “Simple, we merely tax all the rich people and give it to the unfortunate
people who are not rich. Then we will have a society that is truly fair and
equal.”
Tom said, “It’s not going to be easy but I will have
to figure out a way to explain to all the stupid people why that cannot work. I’m
going to need the help of the Freelance Thinker for this.”
To be continued...
You've got something of a red herring here. You've set up a target that no one owns (no one is calling for such an equalization), so it's easy for the Free Lancer to hit it. The Tsar can't wait for this one....................
ReplyDeleteSomething smells fishy. I'll give you that.The President thinks there is too much disparity between the income of the rich and the poor. He has indicated that one of his goals is to level it off. Tom is going to fight him on this issue.
