[0:06](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/5hwwrSWMYN7m/en/island-bean-sharing-satire-taxes-welfare-and-equality?t=6) Hey, that is unfair. Just because you did all the work does not mean those beans belong to you.

[0:14](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/5hwwrSWMYN7m/en/island-bean-sharing-satire-taxes-welfare-and-equality?t=14) Freeze. Using a rock without a permit is a 50% tax, plus a 50% can opening fee.

[0:22](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/5hwwrSWMYN7m/en/island-bean-sharing-satire-taxes-welfare-and-equality?t=22) Hey, stop. You said you were sharing the beans equally.

[0:25](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/5hwwrSWMYN7m/en/island-bean-sharing-satire-taxes-welfare-and-equality?t=25) Why are you eating the whole can yourself?

[0:28](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/5hwwrSWMYN7m/en/island-bean-sharing-satire-taxes-welfare-and-equality?t=28) Relax. Thanks to my generous welfare program, you get a free metal cup and she gets a free spoon.

[0:36](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/5hwwrSWMYN7m/en/island-bean-sharing-satire-taxes-welfare-and-equality?t=36) Wait a second. What am I supposed to do with an empty spoon when there is zero food left?

[0:42](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/5hwwrSWMYN7m/en/island-bean-sharing-satire-taxes-welfare-and-equality?t=42) Congratulations. Now you are both 100% equal, and do not forget to pay your spoon tax.
