A simple lesson illustrating the difference between the two political parties:
Ross Perot and George Dubya Bush were walking down the street when they came to a homeless person.
Ross Perot 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.
Dubya was very impressed, so when they came to another homeless person, he decided to help.
He walked over to the homeless person and gave him directions to the welfare office. He then reached into Perot's pocket and got out $20. He kept $15 for his administrative fees and gave the homeless person $5.
Now, do you understand the difference? (Libertarian vs. Republican - the New Socialist).
:D

I think that story needs some adjustments.
Dubya would have used the $20 for lunch, then borrowed $500 from the treasury. Then he would have hired Haliburton to provide managed care for the homeless person. Haliburton would have then spent $2500 on personnel and overhead to make sure the homeless person got two bowls of soup, a sleeping bag and a pair of used jeans. Then they would have gotten their congressman to approve $5000 to expand the program to include the other homeless guy down the block.
