The Little Red Hen: The Little American Capitalist

Once upon a time, there was a little America Capitalist ("Amcap" for short)  who worked in a factory. She was friends with a lazy druggie , a sleepy hippie , and a noisy red socialist .

One day the little Amcap  found some cash on the ground. The little Amcap  had an idea. She would grow the cash .

The little Amcap asked her friends, "Who will help me grow this money?"

"Not I," barked the lazy druggie.
"Not I," purred the sleepy hippie .
"Not I," quacked the noisy red socialist .

"Then I will," said the little Amcap . So the little Amcap  grew the cash all by herself.

When the cash had grown, the little Amcap asked her friends, "Who will help me build a business?"
"Not I," barked the lazy druggie .
"Not I," purred the sleepy hippie .
"Not I," quacked the noisy red socialist .

"Then I will," said the little Amcap. So the little Amcap built the business all by herself.

When the business was successful, the little Amcap asked her friends, "Who will help me expand the business to provide jobs?"
"Not I," barked the lazy druggie .
"Not I," purred the sleepy hippie .
"Not I," quacked the noisy red socialist .

"Then I will," said the little Amcap. So the little Amcap expanded the business, grew a profit and returned an investment to herself.

The tired little Amcap asked her friends, "Who will help me build a beautiful home ?"
"Not I," barked the lazy druggie .
"Not I," purred the sleepy hippie .
"Not I," quacked the noisy red socialist .

"Then I will," said the little Amcap  . So the little Amcap built her beautiful new home all by herself.

When the beautiful home was finished, the tired little Amcap  asked her friends, "Who will share my wealth, live in my home and eat my food?"
"I will," barked the lazy druggie .
"I will," purred the sleepy hippie .
"I will," quacked the noisy red socialist.

"No!" said the little Amcap. "I will." And the little Amcap enjoyed her wealth, lived in her home and ate her good food all by herself.

However, Amcap loved God. She gave to the blind mother, the crippled vet and to the grandmother with cancer. She gave to the Salvation  army and many good causes.

But the lazy druggie, the sleepy hippie and the noisy red socialist marched on her home and factories croaking "Where is mine you greedy one-percenter?"

The little Amcap said "You had your chance to share in the wealth by motivation and hard work. You didn't lift a hand until the money grew. Now you want what I worked hard for!

The lazy druggie only barked. The sleepy hippie now roared, and the noisy red socialist quacked quite noisily. They all in their own manner screamed hatefully "I'll show you. I'll just vote Democrat! We'll redistribute what you worked for, you selfish Amcap!"
