I recently asked my friend's little girl
what she wanted to be when she grows up.
She said she wanted to be
Prime Minister
some day.
Both of her parents,
left wing-progressives,
were standing there, so I asked her, "If you were
Prime Minister
what would be the first thing you would do?"
She replied, "I'd give food and houses to
all the homeless people."
Her
socialist
parents beamed.
"Wow... what a worthy goal." I told her,
"But you don't have to wait until you're PM
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 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
Conservative
Party."
Her parents still aren't speaking to me.
