Republican or Democrat

I was recently forwarded something (thanks uncle David) that does a nice job of illustrating one of the core difference between democrats and republicans...

This was in the comment section on an article in the NY Post:

I recently asked my neighbor's little girl 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, 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 with pride.

"Wow...what a worthy goal," I said. 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 the weeds, and sweep the yard, 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
