A lesson learned...
I was talking to a friend's 6-year old daughter, & she said she wanted to be President some day. Both of her parents, liberal Democrats, were standing there as I asked her, 'If you were President, what would be the first thing you would do?' She replied, 'I'd give food & houses to all the homeless people.' 'Wow - what a worthy goal.' I told her, 'You don't have to wait until you're President to do that. You can come over to my house & mow, pull weeds, & rake my yard, & I'll pay you $50. Then I'll take you over to the grocery store where a homeless guy hangs out, & you can give him the $50 to use toward food or a new house.' She thought that over for a few seconds 'cause she's only 6. And while her Mom glared at me, the little girl looked me straight in the eye & asked, 'Why doesn't the homeless guy come over & do the work, & you can just pay him the $50 ?' I said, 'Welcome to the Republican Party !' Her folks still aren't talking to me!
