Fisherman and the Fish
An old man finds a fish. The fish says "Let me go, old man. I will reward you for my freedom by giving you anything you desire". The old man at the behest of his wife makes wish after wish. Finally, the fish decides the old man and his wife are being too greedy and takes everything he gave them away. Then the man and his wife hired a lawyer and sued the federal government for not having federal regulations in place to prevent wishing fish from unfairly taking away previously given magical spoils. The judge ruled in their favor and they were both given 500 million dollars worth of taxpayer funds with which they lived happily ever after.
The Moral of the Story: It's the federal government's responsibility to fix every bad thing that happens in the world.

The Three Little Pigs
There were once three little pigs. A Canadian pig, A French pig and an American pig.
The little Canadian pig built his house out of straw. But the big bad wolf easily knocked it down. The little Canadian pig ran to the French pig's house which was made out of sticks. But the wolf came there and knocked it down too. Then both pigs ran to the American pig's house which was made out brick. When the wolf came there, the American pig pulled out a gun and regime changed the wolf’s attitude. Afterwards, both little pigs who lost their houses started building their houses out of straw again. When the American pig asked them why they don’t spend more money and build better and stronger houses and get some guns. The Canadian and French pigs said WHY? They both secretly knew the American would always save their bacon.
The Moral of the Story: Americans pigs should let the wolf enjoy some bacon!

The Ants and the Grasshopper
All summer long the ants worked and prepared for the winter while the grasshopper went to Rage Against the Machine concerts and played Everquest. The grasshopper laughed and laughed at the ants for working so hard. Then winter came. The ants had plenty of food and shelter while the grasshopper had none. So the government took the ants tax money and built the grasshopper a house, gave him welfare cheese to eat, and paid for courses at the local university that the grasshopper didn't bother to go to. When the ants complained everyone ELSE agreed that they were greedy rich jerks for having more than the grasshopper.
The Moral of the Story: Ant’s should get their cheese from under the table and hide if from the grasshopper.
