Recently, while I was working in the flower
beds in the front yard, my neighbors stopped to chat as they returned home from
walking their dog.
During our friendly conversation, I asked their 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 said. "But you don't have to wait
until you're President to do that!" I told her.
"What do you mean?"
she replied.
So I told her, "You can come over to my house and mow the
lawn, pull weeds, and trim my hedge, and I'll pay you $50. Then you can go 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
aren't speaking to me

Jager is like liquid xanax. Wake up looking like you fell in a tiger exhibit and crawled through a leech filled swamp to get out.

Thats pretty good but if she had converted completely to Republican, she would have said Ok to your first proposition. Then got the homeless man to do the work for $10 and pocketed the rest.

That is great!!! If that is what the market will allow, I call her a venture capitalist.
