Five people go to dinner. The owner of the restaurant tell the wealthiest one he has to pay for the meal, and 60% of the tip. The next wealthiest one has to pay the remainder of the tip. The other three pay virtually nothing. The restraint owner then holds a vote for what to order. There are 3 votes for everything on the menu, one vote for Caesar Salad, and one vote for bread and water. The majority wins, and proceeds to stuff their face with lobster while calling the other two diners “greedy” for suggesting that they either A) order a smaller meal, or B) share the cost of the meal more equitably. The owner then decides to give the group 10% off the price. The three freeloaders then accuse the owner of giving tax cuts to the rich.

Welcome to America. This is how we do government here.
