Even children understand
I was talking to a friend's little girl, and 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."
"Wow - what a worthy goal!" I told her, "You don't have to wait until
you're President to do that. You can come over to my house and mow,
pull weeds, and sweep my yard, and I'll pay you $50.00. Then I'll take
you over to the grocery store where the homeless guy hangs out and you
can give him the $50.00 to use toward food or a new house."
She thought that over for a few moments because she's only 6.
And while her Mom glared at me, 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?"
And I said, "Welcome to the Republican Party."
Her folks still aren't talking to me.
