Simple capitalism
ENRON VENTURE CAPITALISM
You have two cows.
You sell three of them to your publicly listed company, using letters of credit opened by your brother-in-law at the bank, then execute a debt/equity swap with an associated general offer so that you get all four cows back, with a tax exemption for five cows.
The milk rights of the six cows are transferred via an intermediary to a Cayman Island Company secretly owned by the majority shareholder who sells the rights to all seven cows back to your listed company.
The annual report says the company owns eight cows, with an option on one more.
You sell one cow to buy a new president of the United States , leaving you with nine cows.
No balance sheet provided with the release.
The public then buys your bull.

You have two cows.
You go on strike, organise a riot, and block the roads, because you want three cows.

AMERICAN
You have two cows
They refuse to trade with each other because they're scared that the economy is going to go downhill

As a result, the cows force the economy to go downhill because they're scared of mindless sheets of paper with presidents and numbers on them are somehow going to turn against them and bankrupt them, because god knows THEY don't control the economy, no sir, and it'd be stupid to actually spend money and trade with each other which is the only way to get out of a mother fucking deficit
