Sent to me by a friend.

--------------------------------------

The $50 Lesson…..

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 12 year old daughter what she wanted to be when she grows up. She said she wanted to be President someday.

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.

Sounds like a fake email that is sent around to gullible people.

The girl realized that, when it comes to helping people, liberals are not only ineffective, they are completely unnecessary.

And she did it simply by applying common sense. No wonder liberals miss it.

I doubt little nut would even talk to a homeless guy let alone hire one....

He would have to be liberal to be homeless according to the right wing mind.

Don't point out my post that appeared 3 minutes before poor little meson's post here.

His head may explode.

The fact is most of the voters who work will vote Republican this November. The Democrats will win the non-working voters by a landslide.
