|        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.
 
 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, mow the        lawn,
 pull        weeds, and rake 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.
