What a great analogy! Older one, but still fits.

Monkeys --

Start with a cage containing five monkeys. Inside the cage, hang a banana on
a string and place a set of stairs under it.

Before long, a monkey will go to the stairs and start to climb towards the
banana.

As soon as he touches the stairs, spray all the other monkeys with cold
water.

After a while another monkey makes the attempt with same result, all the
other monkeys are sprayed with cold water.

Pretty soon when another Monkey tries to climb the stairs, the other monkeys
will try to prevent it.

Now, put the cold water away. Remove one monkey from the cage and replace it
with a new one.

The new monkey sees the banana and wants to climb the stairs.

To his shock, all of the other monkeys beat the snot out of him. After
another attempt and attack,
he knows that if he tries to climb the stairs he will be assaulted.

Next, remove another of the original five monkeys and replace it with a new
one.

The newcomer goes to the stairs and is attacked.

The previous newcomer takes part in the punishment with enthusiasm.

Likewise, replace a third original monkey with a new one, then a fourth,
then the fifth.

Every time the newest monkey takes to the stairs he is attacked.

Most of the monkeys that are beating him up have no idea why they were not
permitted to climb the stairs

OR even why they are participating in the beating of the newest monkey.
Finally, after replacing all of the
original monkeys, none of the remaining monkeys have ever been sprayed with
cold water.

Nevertheless, no monkey ever again approaches the stairs to try for the
banana.

Why not?

Because as far as they know, that is the way it has always been done around
here.

And that, my fellow monkeys, is how Congress operates -

And precisely why we need to REPLACE all the original monkeys this November.
