you have two cows:
The Government takes all the milk produced by one of them, During collection and administration it spills 75% of the milk collected from you, gives you back 25% and proudly declares it "Social Progress".
COMMUNISM.
You have two cows,
The State takes both and gives you some milk, which in the process has curdled. If you say that you do not like curdled milk, you are sent to the Gulag for social re-education. If you say that you do not wish to be socially re-educated you are shot and the cows are given to a Party Official.:
BUREAUCRATISM;
You have two cows,
The State takes both, starts a file of vital statistics of both cows, forgets to feed one, milks the other and chemically analyses the milk and then throws it away, because you did no sign a document which you had never seen.

You have two cows
You sell one and buy a bull. Your herd multiplies, the economy grows. You sell them and retire on the income.
ROYAL BANK OF LICHTENSTEIN (VENTURE) CAPITALISM
You have two cows:
You sell three of them to your publicly listed company, using Letters of Credit, opened by your brother-in-law at the bank, then execute a debt/equity swap with an associated general offer so that you get all four cows back, with a Tax Exemption for five cows.
The milk rights of the six cows are transferred via an intermediary to a Cayman Island Company, secretly owned by the majority shareholder who sells the rights to all seven cows back to your listed Company.
The annual report says the Company owns eight cows, with an option on one more.
You sell this option and with the proceeds you buy a Senator, leaving you with nine cows.
There is no Balance Sheet provided within this Annual Report.
The Public then buys your bull.

The Government requires you to take harmonica lessons, before your are given a permit to clean their stable.
