I recently asked my friend's little girl what she wanted to be when she
grows up. She said she wanted to be President some day. Both of her parents,
liberal Democrats, were standing there, so I asked her, 'If you were
President what would be the first thing you would do?' She replied, 'I'd
give food and houses to all the homeless people.'
Her parents beamed. 'Wow...what a worthy goal.' I told her, 'But you don't
have to wait until you're President to do that. You can come over to my
house and mow the lawn, pull weeds, and sweep my yard, and I'll pay you $50.
Then I'll take you over to the grocery store where the homeless guy hangs
out, and you can give him the $50 to use toward food and a new house.' She
thought that over for a few seconds, then she looked me straight in the eye
and asked, 'Why doesn't the homeless guy come over and do the work, and you
can just pay him the $50?' I said, 'Welcome to the Republican Party.' Her
parents still aren't speaking to me.
