$50 Lesson

A $50 Lesson

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 .

San Francisco proves to us once again, it just doesn't work.

In this article it is plain as day, you have done nothing in solving your own issues, but spend other people money and throw it at panhandlers. Didn't Giuliani clean up New York from similar issues? I'm sure there is some level of problem still, there always will be, but as I recall, it worked quite well and instead of just handing tax payer money over to people that won't take care of themselves, they spent it actually cleaning the scum off the streets.

Man, take clue.
