THE $50 LESSON
I recently asked my neighbors' little girl what she wanted to be when she grew up.
She said she wanted to be President someday.
Both of her parents, liberal Democrats, were standing next to her, 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 to my house, mow the lawn, pull weeds, sweep my yard and I'll pay you $50. Then I'll take you 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 himself and you just pay him the $50? '
I responded, 'Welcome to the Republican Party!'
Her parents still aren't speaking to me…
