I recently asked my neighborsâ little girl what she wanted to be when she grows up. She said she wanted to be President someday. Both of her parents, who are liberal Democrats, were standing there, so I asked her, âIf you were President what would be the first thing you would do?â
She replied, âIâd give food and houses to all the homeless people.â
Her parents beamed with pride.
âWowâŚwhat a worthy goal.â I told her, âBut you donât have to wait until youâre President to do that! You can come over to my house and mow the lawn, pull weeds, and rake my yard, and Iâll pay you $50. Then Iâll 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.â
She thought that over for a few seconds, then she looked me straight in the eye and asked, âWhy doesnât the homeless guy come over and do the work, and you can just pay him the $50?â
I said, âWelcome to the Republican Party.â Her parents still arenât speaking to me.
