    here is a good story

    Once upon a time, on a farm in Virginia , there was a little red hen who
    scratched
    about the barnyard until she uncovered quite a few grains of wheat.



    She called all of her Democrat neighbors together and said, 'If we plant
    this wheat,
    we shall have bread to eat. Who will help me plant it?'



    'Not I,' said the cow.



    'Not I,' said the duck.



    'Not I,' said the pig.



    'Not I,' said the goose.



    'Then I will do it by myself,' said the little red hen, and so she
    did. The wheat
    grew very tall and ripened into golden grain.



    'Who will help me reap my wheat?' asked the little red hen.



    'Not I,' said the duck.



    'Out of my classification,' said the pig.



    'I 'd lose my seniority,' said the cow.



    'I'd lose my unemployment compensation,' said the goose.



    'Then I will do it by myself,' said the little red hen, and so she
    did.


    At last it came time to bake the bread.



    'Who will help me bake the bread?' asked the little red hen.



    'That would be overtime for me,' said the cow.



    'I'd lose my welfare benefits,' said the duck.



    'I'm a dropout and never learned how,' said the pig.



    'If I'm to be the only helper, that's

    discrimination,' said the goose.



    'Then I will do it by myself,' said the little red hen.



    She baked five loaves and held them up for all of her neighbors to see.

    They wanted some and, in fact, demanded a share. But the little red hen

    said, 'No, I shall eat all five loaves.'



    'Excess profits!' cried the cow. (Nancy Pelosi)



    'Capitalist leech!' screamed the duck. (Barbara Boxer)



    'I demand equal rights!' yelled the goose. (Jesse Jackson)



    The pig just grunted in disdain. (Ted Kennedy)



    And they all painted 'Unfair!' picket signs and marched around and

    around the little red hen, shouting obscenities.



    Then the Farmer Obama came. He said to the little red hen, 'You must

    not be so greedy.'



    'But I earned the bread,' said the little red hen.



    'Exactly,' said Barack the farmer. 'That is what makes our free

    enterprise system so wonderful. Anyone in the barnyard can earn as much

    as he wants. But under our modern government regulations, the productive

    workers must divide the fruits of their labor with those who are lazy

    and idle.'



    And they all lived happily ever after, including the little red hen, who

    smiled and clucked, 'I am grateful, for now I truly understand.'



    But her neighbors became quite disappointed in her. She never again

    baked bread because she joined the 'party' and got her bread free. And

    all the Democrats smiled. 'Fairness' had been established.



    Individual initiative had died, but nobody noticed; perhaps no one

    cared...so long as there was free bread that 'the rich' were paying
    for.

    Sad but true! What does it take for people to understand this concept?

    The ones doing all the taking think that the ones doing the working are idiots. I tend to agree. That's why I quitired in January.

    I'm still not doing any taking but at least I've narrowed my giving somewhat.
