Imagine that there are only ten people in the world. There’s also a brewery (with its own bar).

Seven people work at the brewery and earn $10/month. They don’t pay any taxes.

One guy is a government-employed doctor, he earns $15/month.

One guy works as a manager of the brewery and earns $25/month, and pays $5/month in taxes.

The remaining guy owns the brewery, he does not work at all, he makes $100/month in capital gains and pays $10/month in taxes.

Everyone gets free health care, paid for by the government. There’s also a plan that promises disability insurance to anyone who can’t work.

One day the guy #10 realizes that he pays 2/3rds of all taxes, but his healthcare isn’t any better than that of #1…#8. He decides that it’s unjust, and he starts a party that would defend his interests. He invites the manager as his co-founder. He attracts four workers by promising them that the party will ban abortion, enforce prayer in schools, and institute death penalty for homosexuals.

Together they get the majority in the Senate, privatize healthcare, cut taxes, and abolish disability insurance. Guys #9 and #10 are way richer than #1..#8 and they can afford to pay more for healthcare. The doctor begins working for them full-time.

#1 to #7 notice that the beer becomes more expensive, because #8, #9, and #10 have more money left in their pockets, and #1 to #7 have to buy expensive health insurance just to get some attention from the doctor. So #8 to #10 drink more beer and #1 to #7 drink less.

After a few months, #1 breaks his leg, he becomes disabled and soon dies.

Finally workers decide that they had enough. They beat up #10 and kick him out of the country.
