I just wrote a quick anti-narrative. Thought I'd indulge myself in a simplified counter economic allegory.
The US faces the prospect of taxation for the top 5% incomes being returned to the level of ten years ago. This, apparently, has unleashed a plethora of alarmist omgendoftheworldcommiebastards outrage acros North America. Some of which emerges as chain mails, urban legends, 'true stories' and simplified economic allegories. I think I saw some fifteen to twenty of the kind in that single election thread alone.
America, it has oft been noted, is a paranoid society. Somebody, somewhere, is always out to come and take it all away. Witches, communists, terrorists, and, currently, tax collectors.
