Welcome to the ranks of the conservatives

I asked the underage daughter of my friends what she would like to be when she grows up. She said that she would someday like to become the President of the United States of America. Both happy parents, liberal democrats who were present at the conversation, looked at each other with pride. I asked the girl: “Well, let's say you became the President, what would you do first?”

She replied: "First of all, I would provide food and shelter to all the homeless."

“Wonderful,” I agreed, “a very worthy goal!” But it’s not at all necessary to wait for the time when you will become President. You can now begin to act in accordance with your plan. Come to my house, weed in the garden, mow the grass on the lawn, sweep the yard, and I'll pay you fifty dollars. Then you can go to the shop, near which one of the homeless is lying, and give him your $ 50 to buy food or to save money to buy the future home. ”

She thought for a long time. Her mother looked at me so expressively that I did not dare to interpret her look. In the end, the girl looked up and asked: “Why would not this homeless person come to your home and do this work - then would you pay him $ 50 directly?”

I replied: "Welcome to the ranks of the conservatives, daughter!"

Her parents still do not communicate with me ...
