10 people and a wagon. 10 people need to make a long trip. They have lots of supplies loaded on a large wagon, and plan on having everyone push the wagon. It is proven that the more efficient for 10 folks to have shared wagon, and push together than for if each of them carried their own bag of supplies. It will be a long journey, and the 10 folks decide democracy is the best way to work. They agree that it would also be good for them to travel in a group, and if anyone get’s hurt or injured, the others can help.
On the first day, the trip starts with 10 people pushing the wagon, the wagon weight is fairly divided among the 10, and the load travels fairly easily with 10 people pushing. That first day, they travel 20 miles.
On that 2nd day they realize that there are snakes on their paths, and they can’t be on the look out for snakes when you are busy pushing the wagon. No one wanted to be bitten by a snake, so it was agreed and voted on that "Nancy" would be walk ahead of the wagon with a club protect the others from any snakes that they might come across. That second day, they travel 18 miles.
As they go along, with 1 snake protector and 9 people pushing, they realize they aren't always taking the best path for their trip, and it is suggested that one person walks far ahead of the group to find good routes to push the wagon. It is voted upon and agreed that this is best way to proceed. “Harry” is elected to be the pathfinder of the group, with Nancy protecting the 8 other people pushing the wagon from snakes. That 3rd day, they travel 20 miles.
The trip continues on with 1 pathfinder, 1 snaker, and 8 wagon pushers. Sally is an older person, who has trouble with her feet. It is suggested that it might be better if Sally just rides on the wagon instead of pushing the wagon. "Sally doesn't weigh allot, and she doesn’t push that hard anyways". Thus the group votes decides that "Sally" can ride on the wagon. The 7 people can still push the wagon, even with Sally on the wagon. On the 4th they travel 19 miles.
The next day, Barney complains that he is just older than Sally, and he too has trouble with his feet. Barney points out that he weighs even less than Sally, and says that he was barely pushing the wagon at all. Initially folks didn't want Barney to ride on the wagon also, but he kept complaining, and they said it would not be fair if we allowed “Sally” to ride and not Barney. So they relented voted to allow him to ride on the wagon. Thus there were 1 pathfinder, 1 snaker, 2 riders and 6 people pushing the wagon. The 6 wagon pushers are now having a hard time pushing the wagon, but they can still do it. That 5th day they and the wagon traveled 14 miles.
The next day, they continued their trip with 1 pathfinder, 1 snaker, 2 riders and 6 people pushing the wagon. Early in the morning, “Kelly” steps in a gopher hole and breaks her ankle. “Kelly” can’t walk and needs to ride on the wagon also. The other 5 complain that it will be very hard for them to push the wagon with 3 people on it. They were reminded that it was agreed upon as the trip started that if someone was injured that they would help them and push them on the wagon. The remaining 5 pushers asked to vote on others to help push, but the other 5 had no interested in helping push, thus they couldn’t agree to change the rules. Thus the trip continued with 1 pathfinder, 1 snakers, 3 riders, and 5 pushers. That 6th day the pushers managed to push the wagon 8 miles, and were worn out afterwards.
The 7th day, the 5 non pushers woke up and found that the 5 pushers have grabbed their bags of supplies and left them and the wagon. Now the wagon had 5 people, none of them interested in pushing, and they all died. (or they grabbed their own stuff and carried their own loads and survived.)
This analogy is the way the socialism and their big government agenda is treats the taxpayers. It is easy for us to accept each and every small step of socialism in terms of humanism. The taxpayer can only push and toil so much and carry so many folks on our backs before folks get up and look to leave. I am not a millionaire, but I am a taxpayer. I know that when democrats keep attacking and villianising the hard working people that do make good money, those people can and will leave, or stop pushing the wagon. And then they will be less of us to push the wagon full of riders.
Everyone is for education, everyone is for helping the less fortunate, everyone is for defense, but Private Business (Pushers) can only pay or carry so much of a load. We as a country do create jobs, the lighter the load that the goverment burdens us with. Goverment can get too big, and drowning out private business. Eventually goverment has too enslave the 5 wagon pushers or the wagon doesn't move. There is a right size for goverment so that the country can move forward. More goverment isn't the solution to the economic problems and ultimately won't create jobs.
