Summarize Complex Political Issues in 10 Words or Less

[Profound Gibberish]

There seems to be an issue going around in the Board where "facts" and "logic" are taking entirely too long to read, understand and incorporate into ones body of knowledge. We need to really look critically at all of this "thought" going on and distill these "ideas" down to their essence i.e. 10 words or less or something that can be read on a bumper. I'll start:

Government Bad. Coprorations Good. Assimilate into the Collective.

Any more?
