....A DEMOCRAT:
You have two cows.  Your neighbor has none. You feel guilty for being
successful.    You vote people into office who tax your cows, forcing you to
sell one to raise money to pay the tax. The people you voted for then take the
tax money and buy a cow and give it to your neighbor.  You feel righteous.

the underground and start a campaign of sabotage.

to support a man in a foreign country who has only one cow, which was a gift
from your government.
