A $50 Political Lesson.

Someone sent this to me and it gave me a chuckle - thought I'd pass it on:

 

I recently asked my 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 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.

Her parents should have said.

 

"Because you won't hire the homless guy because he smells, has no teeth, and doesn't have a mailing address or a telephone number."

 

or he does not want to work .

Her parents should have also added "Honey, why would he need $50? He makes more on welfare."
