The $50.00 lesson.

Since there is so much serious nasty stuff in the news today ~
I'm thinking this may lighten your load.
Be at peace, remain hopeful and faithful.
Another classic...
Recently, while I was shoveling snow 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, 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 shovel my snow 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 shovel
your snow and you can just pay him the $50?"
I said, "Welcome to the Republican Party."
Her parents aren't speaking to me.
