A jug eared community activist of questionable parentage, raised as a child of privilege by his grandparents, came along, saw that the people had an abundant supply of affordable cookies, and that some people who weren't willing to work had no cookies. He got elected to office and took cookies and money by force from the cookie maker. The cookie maker quit making cookies. No one had jobs, and there were no more cookies.
And everyone was happy because there was social justice (I made that last part up). The rest is true - more or less.
Best answer - thanks for the laugh of the day. “Jug eared community activist of questionable parentage”...still laughing.
