Good Intentions, But Different Approaches
A joke sent in by a reader that’s funny because it’s sort of true:
Fred Thompson and Hillary Clinton were walking down the street when they came to a homeless person. Fred, the conservative Republican, gave the homeless person his business card and told him to come to his office for a job. He then took $20 out of his pocket and gave it to the homeless person.
Hillary, the liberal socialist, was very impressed, so when they came to another homeless person, she decided to help. She walked over to the homeless person and gave him directions to the welfare office. She then reached into Thompson’s pocket and got out $20. She kept $15 for administrative fees and gave the homeless person $5.
Moral: Conservatives are about improving the world by empowering individuals. Liberals are about improving the world through wealth redistribution and government dependency.
