The politician's message is: "This is a glorious free country. Work hard, play hard, be an
individual. Rise as far as your talents and abilities will allow; be all you can be. We will encourage this.
Every child will get a fair education in this wonderful free society, so get out there and achieve..."

person's mind if that politician pauses for breath and then continues: "...but remember, you are a tool in
the collective. Your highest moral duty is to sacrifice most of your earnings to the needy. We will enforce
this with violence and you will be imprisoned if you disobey. Your money will be taken and given away to
despotic overseas regimes and to buy votes and favors. Your life-efforts will be looted and redistributed to
the shiftless and indolent. You will be spied upon to ensure compliance. Attempt to hide your money from
your brothers and you will be branded a criminal and hunted down. You should rejoice in this and feel
good about your contribution. For further details about our party, write to...."
