LITTLE MARY

I asked my friends' 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 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 help the homeless. You
can come over to my house and mow,
pull weeds, and sweep my yard, and
I'll pay you $50.
Then I'll take you over to the grocery
store where that homeless guy hangs
out, and you can give him the $50 to
use toward a new house.'
She thought that over for a few seconds
while her mom glared at me. 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 pay
him the $50?'
I said, 'Welcome to the Republican
Party!!'
Her folks still aren't talking to me.
