It's the core thinking....
I'm reminded of the time that Catherine - a little girl in our
neighborhood - told me that she wanted to be President one day.
Both of her parents, liberal Democrats, were standing there with us -
and I asked Catherine - 'If you were President what would be the first
thing you would do?'
Catherine replied - 'I would give houses to all the homeless people.'
'Wow - what a worthy goal you have there Catherine.' I told her
(while both parents beamed), 'But, you don't have to wait until you're
President to do that. 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.'
Catherine (who was about 4) 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 the Republican Party Catherine.....
