Teaching Jim to Fish for Himself

I heard a story(probably not true) about a republican and a democrat discussing what to do with the homeless while the democrat's daughter listened. The democrat said give them government aid while the republican argued for teaching them to earn the money. The little girl got frustrated and said, "Daddy, if you want to give them money, why not hire one to mow the yard and let them earn the money. The Republican looked at her and said, "Now you're a Republican." I think this illustrates the difference between helping people and just giving a handout.
