Parable: Golden egg

The Goose That Laid the Golden Egg


An Aesop Fable

A man and his wife owned a very special goose. Every day the goose would lay a golden egg, which made the couple very rich.

"Just think," said the man's wife, "If we could have all the golden eggs that are inside the goose, we could be richer much faster."

"You're right," said her husband, "We wouldn't have to wait for the goose to lay her egg every day."

So, the couple killed the goose and cut her open, only to find that she was just like every other goose. She had no golden eggs inside of her at all, and they had no more golden eggs.

Moral: Too much greed results in nothing.

US Moral: Our Big Government Democrats missed this lesson when growing up. They can confiscate all of the income of the top 1% of the US wage arners and it will not pay for the debt that Democrats have created with their big entitlement initiatives. When all wage earners and tax payers have no money, where will the funds come from to pay for these massive entitlements.

By the way, you do know that Big Democrat Government is putting forth these massive entitlement programs in order to create voters who are dependent of Big Democrat Government. So, read the fable again. This time, pay attention.
