I'm reminded of the time that a little girl in our neighborhood told me that she wanted to be President one day.
Both of her parents, liberals, were standing there with us, and I asked her,
"If you were President, what would be the first thing you would do? "
She replied "I would give houses to all the homeless people."

" Wow what a worthy goal you have there." I told her (while both parents beamed), " but, you don't have to wait until you're President to help the homeless. You can come over to my house and clean up all the dog poop in the back yard
and I will pay you $5 dollars. Then we can go over to the grocery store where the homeless guy hangs out, and you can give him the $5 dollars to use for a new house."
<o:p></o:p>
She thought that over for a second, and then replied, "Why doesn't the homeless guy come over and clean up the dog poop himself, and you can pay him the $5 dollars? "
"Welcome to Conservatism, my dear." <o:p></o:p>
