Neocon Math: simple explanation

A man in a restaurant recieves a hotdog for his dinner. The wealthy man next to him (who ordered the same meal) recieves two hotdogs. The poorer man complains that he has less than the wealthy man.
Immediately, the restaurant owner comes over, slices the poor man's meal into six pieces, taking two of them away. "There!" he says, placing the two pices he took on the wealthy man's plate. "Now you *both* have four pieces!"

THAT is neocon economics!

Employment goes up because jobs are sliced smaller and smaller. two low paid jpbs will no longer equal *one* of the old jobs which are now outsourced to India or elsewhere.

Discuss.
