Back to capitalism jokes: politicaly correct capitalism:
You have two cows. You got sued for $1000000000 for sexualy harrasing them. You did fondle their breasts, did't you ?

I don't think yanking and squeezing until milk comes out can be considered fondling.

Politically correct capitalism:
You have 100 cows and one bull. You are sued by the gov't for gender discrimination in your hiring practices. They force you to take on another 99 bulls and provide them with substitute employment. You try bull-fighting, but are shut down by the SPCA. You try the mountain oyster business, but are shut down by PETA (not to mention the wildcat strike). You try marketing a new health shake (vanilla only), but the FDA objects. Fortunately (?) you filmed the manufacturing process and start a thriving internet business. Only politically-incorrect Groups object to this, so you're finally left in peace and making money hand over fist. You buy your way into the Senate, serve the public faithfully for 21 years, but then are hounded out of office by decades-old accusations of "fondling."
