Old Sesame Street Burt and Ernie routine show evils of socialism...

[2aguy]

I remember seeing this routine when I was a kid.....Burt and Ernie have grape juice and pizza, but Ernie has more of each...then...to even things up, Ernie eats and drinks all the juice and all the pizza...in the name of fairness, trying to make everything equal....and thereby demonstrating the evils of socialism...and the government trying to make everything equal for everyone...the only one who benefits...the ones in charge of making everything equal...they actually get everything, while everyone else gets little to nothing.....

For this scene...

Ernie represents the government. Ernie/the government tries to make everything equal and ends up consuming everything for itself.....

Burt represents the people.
