"Some Animals More Equal"

George Orwell wrote not one, but TWO prophetic books. "1984," which described a society run by a dictator (called, "Big Brother") who so fully controlled the news that the "hero" of the story had the job of "rewriting history" until he rebelled and was "dealt with." The second was, "Animal Farm," where the animals could think and talk like humans, and took over the farm. Everything was fine until one animal bunch (politicians, of course) figured out that they could "Lord it over" the rest by twisting the things they told the others. Finally, they put out the word that, "All animals are equal, but some animals are MORE equal than others." Which caused a revolution in which they were overthrown.

Wanna guess which animals were the ones to which they referred? Now that is coming true, in the "gun debate." One Dumocrat says he is okay with only the rich being able to afford the high "gun tax" that was being proposed. Illinois Rep. Danny Davis has introduced a bill that, if it becomes law, would apply a 50% TAX on ammunition and some guns, a 20% tax on others. He frankly says the idea is to "make it harder" for the less wealthy people to afford a gun OR ammunition. They CANNOT just BAN GUNS altogether, so they do everything they can to stop people from buying them. He typically says this tax would "provide money to reduce gun violence and pay for "gun violence mitigation." Their usual excuse. And as usual, would do NOTHING to stop gun violence. (Daily Caller)
