Subject: FW: The $50.00 lesson
$50 dollar lesson
I recently asked my friends' little girl what she wanted to be when she grows
up. She said she wanted to be President someday. 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
