It's not really very funny, and one reason for that is that it's not really very accurate.

Republicans help the poor during the holidays by sending $50 to the Salvation Army.
Democrats help the poor by giving $50, one buck at a time, to panhandlers on the street.

Well, actually, Democrats help the poor by raising other people's taxes and making them pay for it. But then they all take government jobs and unfortunately there's no money left over for the poor because it all goes for Democrat salaries.

Democrats are notoriously poor at giving money of their own for decent causes. If they pony up, it's to Planned Parenthood to kill babies with.

They can also find a few of their rich buddies to help get out the democrat's core message - "IHateBush"

A Democrat and a Republican are walking down the street at Christmas time, and encounter a bum. (Today they are called "homeless people.")

"You poor man!" cries the Republican. "Here is my card! Come around to my business tomorrow and I will give you a job so that you may have a Merry Christmas!" And to top it off, the Republican reaches in his wallet, and pulls out a crisp $10.00 bill and gives it to the bum so that he can buy lunch.

"That was a wonderful example of human kindness," says the Democrat, "and I want to do it too!"

The two men proceed down the street, and before long encounter another bum with his hand out. The Democrat winks to the Republican.

"You poor man!" the Democrat cries, and reaches into the Republican's wallet and gives the bum $10.00.

I agree 110%.

"The Difference Between Republicans & Democrats"

It took me years to figure out the real differences between Democrats
and Republicans and this little story says it all.

A Republican and a Democrat were walking down the street when they came
to a homeless person. The Republican gave the homeless person his
business card and told him come to his business for a job. He then took
twenty dollars out of his pocket and gave it to the homeless person.

The Democrat was very impressed, and when they came to another homeless
person, he decided to help. He walked over to the homeless person and
gave him directions to the welfare office. He then reached into the
Republican's pocket, took fifty dollars, and gave it to the homeless
person.
