I recently asked my friend's little girl what she wanted to

be when she grows up. 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.'





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 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.'
