The $50 Lesson

Beware Beware

PreferredByPete.com Enthusiast
I recently asked my friends' 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 with
pride.

"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.
