When Hillary Clinton is President: You have two cows. At first the government regulates what you can feed them and when you can milk them. Then it pays you not to milk them. Then it takes both, shoots one, milks the other and pours the milk down the drain. Then it requires you to fill out forms accounting for the missing cows. Finally you receive a tax bill to cover the expenses with an explanation that it is for your own good. Also included is an envelope for a 'voluntary' campaign contribution.
