The "TEN DOLLAR BILL" analogy
EUREKA!

A poster named "buddysmellgood" came up with this, so he needs to be credited.

The "democracy" that Republicans have imposed on Demccrats for the last 4 years is like the representation he created.

Break a 10 dollar bill in ones, give a republican 6 dollars and change, telling him "here, take these 10 dollars," he would complain "but is short", no, you say, I already counted it and is 10.

He would say "count it again", it's done! (your line) he will insist and you will refuse by going, "that would be a waste of time and, as you know, time is money!"

Brilliant way to put it and, trust me, revolutions have started for a lot less than this in other countries!
