> Father and daughter
>
> A young woman was about to finish her first year of college. Like so
> many others her age, she considered herself to be a very Liberal
> Democrat, and among other liberal ideals, was very much in Favor of
> higher taxes to support more government programs, in other Words
> redistribution of wealth.
>
> She was deeply ashamed that her father was a rather staunch
> Republican, a feeling she openly expressed. Based on the Lectures that
> she had participated in, and the occasional chat with a professor, she
> felt that her father had for years harbored an evil, selfish desire to
> keep what he thought should be his.
>
> One day she was challenging her father on his opposition to Higher
> taxes on the rich and the need for more government programs. The
> self-professed objectivity proclaimed by her professors had to Be the
> truth and she indicated so to her father. He responded by Asking how
> she was doing in school.
>
> Taken aback, she answered rather haughtily that she had a 4.0 GPA, and
> let him know that it was tough to maintain, insisting that She was
> taking a very difficult course load and was constantly studying, which
> left her no time to go out and party like other people She knew. She
> didn't even have time for a boyfriend, and didn't really have many
> college friends, because she spent all her time studying.
>
> Her father listened and then asked , 'How is your friend Audrey
> doing?' She replied, ' Audrey is barely getting by. All she takes are
> Easy classes, she never studies, and she barely has a 2.0 GPA. She Is
> so popular on campus; college for her is a blast. She's always invited
> to all the parties and lots of times she doesn't even show up for
> classes because she's too hung over.'
>
> Her wise father asked his daughter, 'Why don't you go to the Dean's
> office and ask him to deduct 1.0 off your GPA and give it to your
> friend who only has a 2.0. That way you will both have a 3.0 GPA, and
> certainly that would be a fair and equal distribution of GPA.' The
> daughter, visibly shocked by her father's suggestion, angrily fired
> back, 'That's a crazy idea, how would that be fair! I've worked really
> hard for my grades! I've invested a lot of time, and a lot of hard
> work! Audrey has done next to nothing toward her degree. She played
> while I worked my tail off!'
>
> The father slowly smiled, winked and said gently, 'Welcome to The
> Republican party.' If anyone has a better explanation of the difference between
> Republican and Democrat I'm all ears.
>
> If you ever wondered what side of the fence you sit on, this is a great test!
