Random Pointless Political Sloganering

As I was riding the bus, half-asleep, over to work I was pondering parody slogans for political policies I oppose, here are a few:

Universal Medical Care - Bringing you the joy of rationing and wait lists!

Border Security - Building a Wall . . . because it worked so well for the Communists

Ethanol Subsidies - Higher food prices and agri-corp profits for no net reduction in carbon emissions? How can you beat a deal like that!?

Big Government - Institutionalized robbing Peter to pay Paul.


And just to show I can poke fun at my side of the field too:

New Isolationism - We have two oceans and the world's best navy and air force, the rest of you can just go to hell.

Free Trade - Cheaper prices, cheaper wages, it all balances out, right?

Capitalism - The worst form of economics . . . until you look at all the others. (With apologies to Winston Churchill.)


Please, add you own, there must be some political stupidity out there you want to poke fun at.

Gun Control- Because if we make things illegal enough, criminals will behave.

Hate Crime Legislation- Some groups are more special than others.

To quote Ambrose Bierce:

Corporation - An ingenious device for obtaining individual profit without individual responsibility.

And some from me:

Globalization - Feudalism with merchants as the ruling class.

Libertarian Party - The "Fuck You" party.

(apologies to those libertarians I know to be good people)

Commidification - Everything has a price; if it doesn't(like the environment), fuck it.
