The $50 Lesson
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 12 year old daughter
what she wanted to be when she grows up. She said she wanted to be
Prime Minister some day.
Both of her parents – Socialist Labor- were standing there, so I
asked her, "If you were Prime Minister 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 Prime Minister 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 Liberal National Party."
Her parents aren't speaking to me.

of course it's not possible that they homeless guy isn't capable of such tasks - that he's mentally incapable or physically incapable

but, of course if he is - then, there's still a big problem

personally, I'd love to see you employ homeless guys -------------- but, I'll bet london to a ton of shit that you would never walk up to a homeless bloke in the street - bend down and ask him - 'hey mate, how about coming to my house and mowing my lawn - I'll pay you 50 bucks'

yeah right - I can see you doing that ---------------- probably make a lifelong hobby out of it eh?

get a couple of them to paint the inside of the house for you as well

all crap
