$50 For The Homeless

CBI_2 · 07-13-2009, 09:10 PM

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, politically left, 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 yard, and I'll pay you $50. Then I'll take you over to the grocery store where homeless guys hang out, and you can give them the $50, you earned, 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 conservatism."

Her parents still aren't speaking to me.

HAHAHA thats an amazing girl! I would vote fer her! sounds like she will turn out alright with that head on her shoulders. Can think of a good cause, and evaluate the effectiveness once money is involved!!
