Funny but oh so true.
A young woman was about to finish her first year of college. Like so many others her age, she considered herself to be a Democrat and was very much in favor of the redistribution of wealth. She was 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 a 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 addition of more government welfare programs. The self-professed objectivity proclaimed by her professors has 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 of 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 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 equitable distribution of GPA.”

The daughter, visibly shocked by her father’s suggestion, angrily fired back. “That wouldn’t be fair! I have 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.”

Ahh, the truth, brutha!

Amen to that, even though I am neither.

That really is good.

Maybe this should be posted in the political section. Though that might get somebody upset.

It seems like everything gets people upset lately.

I'd share this with my Demo leaning step-son but he's so arrogant I don't think he'd get it. Beside, the "We're looking for a few good men," USMC hired him. He reports for basic in two days.
