SOCIALISM

You have two cows .. your neighbour has none. The State take one and give to your neighbour who eats it.

CONSERVATISM

You have two cows. You keep both and sell the milk. With the profit you buy another cow and eventually you have a herd. You employ people to process the milk and also to sell it. All these people pay taxes into the economy, as does the herd owner who becomes wealthy.

Your neighbour is full of envy but will never admit he is a loser.
The original was a comparison between Communism, Socialism and Capitalism NOT Conservatism. As we all know now Conservatives usher in a Socialist economy when times are hard because they have no other answers.
