Two Lifetimes to Dig Out

Negotiations with socialism is like negotiations with pirates.

Pirates: We have your ship and its Captain whom we are going to kill.
Obama Admin: What do you want?
Pirates: We want to kill your Captain.
Obama Admin: Can we offer you ransom in exchange for the Captain?
Pirates: No we want to kill him we called you to tell you that. WTF is wrong with you? Do you think we are stupid? We have seen what you have done to your own economy and we do not want your strings attached to our privateer operation.
Obama Admin: What if we make the shipping company pay ransom?
*pause*
Pirates: We wait for money then we kill your Captain.

The only chance the free market has to survive is a shootout against the government, and the same for the Captain.
