$50 For the Homeless
I recently asked my friends' seven year old daughter what she wants to be when she grows up. She said 'she wants to be president some day.'
Both of her parents, left wing Democrats, were standing there, so I asked their little innocent girl, "If you were president what would be the first thing you would do?"
"I would give food and houses to all homeless people," she replied.
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 homeless guys hang out, and you can give them the $50, you earned, to use toward food and a new house."
She thought that over for a few seconds, then she looked me 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."
"Hrrrrruuumppff, come along Natalie," her parents still aren't speaking to me.
