I recently asked my friend's little girl what she wanted to be when she grows up. She said she wanted to be President some day. 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.
Wow...what a worthy goal, I told her, but you don't have to wait until you're President to do that. You can come over to my house and mow the lawn, pull weeds, and sweep my driveway, and I'll pay you $50. Then I'll 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.
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 still aren't speaking to me.
LOL
Lol! Very good. Did you write that yourself, or is it one of those things that get passed around the internet?
Smart little girl..........
Outstanding.
Except I would have said, “welcome to conservatism”.
The Republican party may stand for capitalism, but
its representatives have been Alinsky’d.
My opinion, but I’m still going to use your example.
Best $50.00 you never spent.
This is one of those internet forwards, but cute.
LOL that’s great.
This is a true story. When my daughter was 10 years old she wanted to do some extra work around the house and be paid in order to buy something she wanted.
We said OK and told her we’d pay her the minimum wage and what that was. She said OK and went off to do the work.
About 2 hours later she comes in and says, “By the way, what’s the maximum wage?”

That was a great Monday morning laugh! Thanx!
Dear Pres. Obama,
Thank you for helping my neighbors with their mortgage payments. You know the one’s down the street who in the good times purchased their house for no money down, refinanced it several times, then bought SUV’s, ATV’s, RV’s, a pool, a big screen plasma TV, two Wave Runners, a boat, and a Harley.
I was wondering, since I am paying my mortgage and theirs, could you arrange for me to borrow the Harley now and then?

P.S. They also need help with their credit cards, when do you want me to start making those payments?
P.P.S. I almost forgot - they didn’t file their income tax return this year.
Should I go ahead and file for them or will you be appointing them to cabinet posts?
LOLOL!
LOL funny
ROTFL! Oh, that’s fabulous... more kids need to learn this.
