The $50 Lesson

A woman was working in the flower beds in the front yard when her
neighbors stopped to chat as they returned home from walking their dog.

During their friendly conversation, she 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 she 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!" the woman said.
"But you don't have to wait until you're President to do that!"

"What do you mean?" she replied.

So she 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 the woman 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?"

She said, "Welcome to the Republican Party."

They haven't spoke to each other since.....
