Sydney from Sydney Posted December 5, 2009 Share Posted December 5, 2009 It is the month of August; a resort town sits next to the shores of a lake. It is raining, and the little town looks totally deserted. It is tough times, everybody is in debt, and everybody lives on credit. Suddenly, a rich tourist comes to town. He enters the only hotel, lays a 100 dollar bill on the reception counter, and goes to inspect the rooms upstairs in order to pick one. The hotel proprietor takes the 100 dollar bill and runs to pay his debt to the butcher. The Butcher takes the 100 dollar bill, and runs to pay his debt to the pig raiser. The pig raiser takes the 100 dollar bill, and runs to pay his debt to the supplier of his feed and fuel. The supplier of feed and fuel takes the 100 dollar bill and runs to pay his debt to the town's prostitute that in these hard times, gave her "services" on credit. The hooker runs to the hotel, and pays off her debt with the 100 dollar bill to the hotel proprietor to pay for the rooms that she rented when she brought her clients there. The hotel proprietor then lays the 100 dollar bill back on the counter so that the rich tourist will not suspect anything. At that moment, the rich tourist comes down after inspecting the rooms, and takes his 100 dollar bill, after saying that he did not like any of the rooms, and leaves town. No one earned anything. However, the whole town is now without debt, and looks to the future with a lot of optimism. And that, ladies and gentlemen, is how the British Government is doing business today.

The problem is that the man checking in is from China and he wants a little bit extra on top of that ?100! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigwull22 Posted December 5, 2009 Share Posted December 5, 2009 Trouble is in the real world a rich man comes into town, sees everybody is desperate, offers $10 for for a room that is worth $100 and everybody is still in debt and scrambling around, the reason the guy is rich is because he never pays a fair price for anything. Trickle down economics only works for the rich. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
