Slave Garden
So you're a plantation owner back in the day
You have a bunch of slaves
And your slaves are not real happy about being slaves
Being a slave sucks
The more that slaves think about being slaves and how much it sucks, the angrier they get about their situation
But killing them if they cause you trouble or try to break free just leaves you with fewer slaves
There must be a better way
So you give your slaves some of your own land to farm
A remote, unprofitable patch of land for which you have no use
A small lot where your slaves can grow some extra food for themselves and their families
Perhaps you even allow them to sell any surplus and keep the proceeds
And of course they gratefully accept
Some of the more productive slaves could even build some wealth and independence
Except now they can't leave
because they can't take their piece of farmland with them
Bill Clinton and Barack Hussein Obama
Kim Jong-il and Kim Il-sung
In their slave gardens
Enjoying the trappings bestowed upon them by their apparently benevolent owners
Figureheads playing their roles
Building wealth
But unable to leave
Lest it all be taken away
