Joke: If you were President what’s the first thing you do?

Saw this at Pastebin through Reddit:

I recently asked my friends’ 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.
‘Wow…what a worthy goal.’ I told her, ‘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 weeds, and rake my 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.

I saw this too, isn’t it great. I wish there were a few kids that would actually do it though and not recommend that we pay the homeless guy. I have enough trouble getting my kids to just put the rubbish out but they always seem to be standing with the hand ready when it is time for a little pocket money!
Perhaps I will ask them this same question, no doubt the response will be a little different!!
