A Republican and a Democrat were walking down the street when they came to a homeless person. The Republican gave the homeless person his business card and told him to come to his business for a job. He then took twenty dollars out of his pocket and gave it to the homeless person.
The Democrat was very impressed, and 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 the Republican's pocket and got out twenty dollars. He kept 15 for administrative fees and gave the homeless person five.

Then the guy who refuses to affiliate with either party sits down next to the homeless man with a big lunch and a case of beer for the two of them, and spends time chit-chatting about small stuff.
Good food, good drink, and good company are more important than a piece of paper with a dead guy's picture on it.
Money isn't the solution. Being human is the solution.

This is just what Obama did to the Iowa man for selling cards and facing jail.
see the politico.com Ben Smith Art. of "Enter the Armenians".

Two Democrats walking by a woman being attacked and one say to the other that poor guy needs to be rehabilitated lets see if we can help him.
A Republican walking by and seeing this says Hey , Hey
Bill Clinton and Ted Kennedy I called the cops leave her alone. You too John ( Genghis Khan) Kerry you are at your antics again. You didn't attack enough in Vietnam!

No, That is old school, this is the information age.
The Democrat set up automatic withdrawals of $20 every month from the Republicans account into a central account, then hires a large staff ( admin fees of 25 per month ) then they give $5 to 6 homeless people, and ask the Republican for another $80 per month.

No. The Republican would have told the homeless man to have some personal responsibility and then would have had him arrested for vagrancy. While in jail the homeless man would have learned the tricks of profitable crime so that when he got out, he could steal from others, become wealthy and vote republican.
The Democrat would have taken the man to a homeless shelter and made sure he was evaluated by a mental health professional to see if he had an illness that was preventing him from functioning in society. The man would have gotten help, possibly through use of an antipsychotic drug discovered with government research grants by scientists who were educated through NIH training grants. The man would have left the mental institute and gone to a half-way house where he could get job training so he could go to work and support himself. But the job he got would not provide mental health coverage, so he'd relapse into his disease, wander around in a stupor and get robbed and murdered by the guy who was in the first scenario.

You are assuming that the Republican would help, typically he'd ignore the problem to begin with. However, the parable is right about the Democrat. The fact that it is actually only $3 out of $20 that gets to the people who truly need the help is atrocious.

Cut the bit about the republican giving the guy twenty bucks and it would work a little better. Also 'directions to the wellfare office' is probably superfluous, since you're illustrating that program by analogy, through the democrat's behavior.

The republican stole the money from social security in the first place, so why not.
Clinton closed the welfare office.
Please pay attention to ALL of the news.

No, more like the Republican offered him a job at minimum wage, contingent on his lobbyist getting a bill passed in Congress that will cut the corporate taxes by another 40%.

Very nice Parable, I never agree with you but your questions are usually entertaining.
Now your story is fine if the homeless person is white, otherwise the republican wants to "see your papers". The sad part is the Liberal just stands by and watches as the Republican strips him of his rights.

no, it is more like the Republican, upon seeing the homeless person, broke out his Bible, and began scolding the homeless person, telling him it was due to his sins that he was homeless. He'll justify his tirade on select verses of Scripture. He couldn't offer him a job because he outsourced his workforce to Mexico and India.
The democrat will give his brown bag lunch to the homeless person.
