Een mooi verhaal over corruptie en uitbuiting van de algemene middelen. Three men were touring the White House on the same day. One was a banker from New York, another a builder from Missouri, and the third was a handyman from Florida. At the end of the tour, the guide asked them what they did for a living. When the Missouri man said he was a builder, the guide said “Hey, that’s great as we need one of the rear fences redone. Why don’t you take a look at it and give me a bid.” The others said they could bid too and so they all went round to the back fence. First the handyman from Florida took out his tape measure and pencil, did some measuring and said: “Well I figure the job will cost about $900. $400 for materials, $400 for my crew and $100 profit for me.” Next was the Missouri builder. He also took out his tape measure and pencil, did some quick figuring and said: “Looks like I can do this for $700. $300 for materials, $300 for my crew and $100 profit for me.” The guide guesses that’s about it, but then the banker says he can do the job for $2,700. The guide looks at him incredulously and says: “But you didn’t even measure up like the other guys! And how did you come up with such a high figure?” “Easy”, says the banker. “$1,000 for me, $1,000 for you and we hire the guy from Missouri.”
