All three end up at the pearly gates and after looking them up in the book St. Peter sees that before they were in their latest occupations they were all in the construction business. So he turns to the terrorist and tells him that the gates are in dire need of repair and asks him to look them over and give him an estimate to repair them. He examines them and after a few minutes tells St. Peter he can fix them for 600 dollars. St. Peter asks him how he came to that number and the terrorist says, 200 for materials, 200 for labor and 200 for profit. St. Peter says he'll think about it.
St. Peter then asks the Republican to examine the gates and give him an estimate. He walks over and examines them for a good while and then tells St. Peter that he can fix them for 3000 dollars. St. Pete was surprised at this and asked the man how he came to that amount. The Republican says, St. Pete, When I did this for a living I only did top notch work and only used the best materials, and I figure 1000 for Materials, 1000 for labor, and 1000 for profit. St. Peter says he'll think about it.
Finally St. Peter asked the Democrat to give him an estimate and he immediately says 2600 dollars. St. Peter was surprised and asked him how could he estimate it so fast and not even look at the gates? Easy the Democrat says, a 1000 for you, a 1000 for me, and 600 to pay the towel head to fix it.
See, Democrats know how to run business!
