Recently, while I was working in my yard, my neighbors stopped to chat
as they returned home from walking their dog.
During our friendly conversation, I asked their 12 year-old daughter what
she wanted to be when she grows up. She said that she wanted to be the
president someday.
Both of her parents - liberal Democrats - were standing there, so I asked
her, "If you were the president of the United States, what would be the
first thing you would do?"
She replied, "I'd give shelter and food to all the homeless people."
Her parents beamed with pride!
"Wow... what a worthy goal!" I replied. "But you don't have to wait until
you're the president to do that!" I exclaimed.
"What do you mean?" she asked.
I told her, "You can come over to my house and mow the lawn, pull weeds
and trim my hedge, and I'll pay you $50. Then you can go down to the
grocery store where the homeless guy hangs out and give him the $50 to use
for food and shelter."
She thought that over for several seconds, then she looked me straight in
the eye and asked, "Why doesn't the homeless guy come over and do the work
himself and you can pay him the $50?"
I said... "Welcome to the Republican Party!"
Her parents no longer speak to me.
