THE MANDATE OF THE ULTRA-HARRIERS JERRY AND SAM · TO THE
HALLITES
Create lots of new paperwork
Chapter 13
The third guideline concerns the gOthers,
2In other words, all the people the government has to take care of because nobody else wants to do it.
3Remember that you need the Others as much as they need you,
4Because if they weren’t there,
5It would be even harder to pretend that you were actually doing something,
6With all the time you spend working for the government.
7hAnd so you must remember not to go looking for any real or permanent solutions to the plight of the Others,
8iSince there aren’t any solutions anyway,
9Which means that it’s much much better to help them by creating lots and lots and lots of new paperwork for yourself,
10And then doing the paperwork,
11As slowly and ineffectually as you can without actually thinking about it,
12So that the plight of the Others will remain highly visible to all,
13jWhich will help ensure that taxes can keep getting higher,
14No matter what,
15Which is your only guarantee that you won’t wind up as kOthers yourselves someday,
16Because,
17Well,
18lRemember the first guideline?
19We thought so.
