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

Greatness

I like that!!!

Nicely played, sir.

Great post

It is true.

They stopped talking to me, but that is not a bad thing.......

WINNING!

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.

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