Recently, while I was working in the flower beds in the front yard, my
Neighbors stopped to chat as they returned home from walking their Dog.

During our friendly conversation, I asked their 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 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!" I told her.

"What do you mean?" she replied.

So I 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 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 aren't speaking to me.

A Republican Senator was driving out in the country, and saw a sign that said, “Republican Puppies for sale!” On a whim, he stopped. A little boy showed the Senator the puppies, and they were so cute with their squenched up eyes and floppy ears that the Senator promised to come back after they had been weaned to buy one.

Three weeks later, he checks back. But the sign has been changed. It says, “Libertarian Puppies for sale!”
Senator goes up to the house, and says, “Last time I was here, sign said “Repub Puppies,” now “Libertarian Puppies.” What’s up?

Boy said, “well, it’s true. They were Republican puppies, but now they’re Libertarian puppies. As puppies get older, they open their eyes!"

A DEA agent, together with an ATF and an FBI agent, as part of a task force, arrive at a ranch in western Nebraska. The agents tell the rancher, "We need to inspect your ranch for illegally grown drugs."
The old rancher says, "Okay, but don't go in that field over there."
The DEA agent verbally explodes saying, "Mister, we have the authority of the Federal Government with us." Reaching into his rear pocket and removing his badge, the agent proudly displays it to the farmer. "See this badge, this badge means we are allowed to go wherever we wish on any land. No questions asked nor answers given. Have I made myself clear, do you understand?"
The old rancher nods politely and goes about his chores.
Later, the rancher hears loud screams and spies the three agents running for their lives and close behind is the rancher's notoriously ill-tempered and territorial bull. With every step, the bull is gaining ground on the agents. They are clearly terrified.
The old rancher immediately throws down his tools, runs to the fence and yells at the top of his lungs...
"Your badges! Show him your badges!"

Three funny scenarios but, as usual, only one had a real solution. The other two was just blah blah blah. Widow, please step out of the bubble.
Donnie...I noticed a man standing on the side of the road one day with a sign that said he was hungry, please donate, I stopped and told him that I was on my way to eat and that I would buy him something to eat if he wanted to go. McDonalds was right there and that's where I was going. He said no, that he would lose too much money if he left his corner. I asked if he was Democrat or Republican...He said he didn't vote but if he did it would be Democrat because if he was Republican, he would have to go to work.

The problem with a welfare state is what happens when the state can no longer afford the welfare.

We are already borrowing heavily to finance the social programs we can't afford.

For the answer look at the rioting in Greece, and you will see the future of America if we continue down this road.

Little girl is even smarter than black widow :lol:
Socialism is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, and the gospel of envy.
Sir Winston Leonard Spencer Churchill (1874-1965)

You can understand capitalism when you realize that Thomas Edison improved the world more than Karl Marx

Hey Widow, no need to show their badges when a well placed slug from a .45 will do!

Er uh ... and where did all the money in Greece go ? ... Corrupt politicians ... The Uber rich ... Guess they forgot to trickle the money down to the masses ...

G-man, you dont think over extended unfunded pensions, incredibly early retirement ages, paid for everything, could have anything to do with their problem?

Typical glib lib response lacking a fundamental grasp of economics.

So tax the rich, feed the poor, til there are no rich no more. What then, Robin Hood?
