Last summer, while I was working in my front yard, my neighbors stopped to chat as they returned home from walking their dog. During our friendly conversation, I asked their 12 year old daughter 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, but you don't have to wait until you're president to do that!" I told her. "What do you mean?" she replied. "You can come over to my house and mow the lawn, pull weeds, 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 give him the $50 to use toward food and shelter". She thought that over for a few seconds, then 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 haven't spoken to me since.
