The Goose That Laid the Golden Egg (Obama Liberal version)
A (somewhat updated) Aesop Fable (how did he know ‘bout liberals 2,500 years ago?)
A man(Harry) and a woman(Nancy) had a very special goose. Every day the goose would lay a golden egg, which made them very rich... but the hard working goose’s efforts were not understood or appreciated. “Just think,” said Nancy, “If we could have all the golden eggs that are inside the goose at once, we could be richer much faster.” (Note: the “greedy” goose was clearly hoarding golden eggs and not willing to give her "fair share"!). “You’re right,” said Harry, “We wouldn’t have to wait for the goose to lay her egg every day.”
So, they killed the goose and cut her open, only to find that she was just like every other goose. She had no golden eggs inside of her at all, and they had no more golden eggs... and soon, near destitute, they went on welfare and demanded of the king(Hussein) that he force other people to kill their geese, just in case one had a supply of golden eggs. Lotsa geese died and no golden eggs were retrieved... but they kept killing geese cause they just KNEW one day if just the right people killed the goose… it would work!
Had they nurtured the goose and understood the needs of the goose, she would have given them years of prosperity… their greed and ignorance not only destroyed the goose, the engine of their prosperity, it eventually destroyed them!
