The $50 Lesson
Joan recently asked her friends' 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 Joan 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.' Joan 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 Joan 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? '
Joan said, 'Welcome to the Republican Party.'
