The Ant & The Grasshopper
CLASSIC VERSION:
The ant works hard in the withering heat all summer
long, building his
house and laying up supplies for the winter. The
grasshopper thinks
he's a fool and laughs and dances and plays the
summer away. Come winter, the ant is warm and well fed. The
grasshopper has no food
or shelter so he dies out in the cold.
MORAL OF THE STORY: Be responsible for yourself!
MODERN VERSION:
The ant works hard in the withering heat all summer
long, building his
house and laying up supplies for the winter. The
grasshopper thinks
he's a fool and laughs and dances and plays the
summer away. Come winter, the shivering grasshopper calls a press
conference and
demands to know why the ant should be allowed to be
warm and well fed
while others are cold and starving. CBS, NBC, and
ABC show up to
provide pictures of the shivering grasshopper next
to a video of the ant
in his comfortable home with a table filled with
food. America is
stunned by the sharp contrast.
How can this be, that in a country of such wealth,
this poor grasshopper
is allowed to suffer so? Kermit the Frog appears on
Oprah with the
grasshopper, and everybody cries when they sing
"It's Not Easy Being
Green."
Jesse Jackson stages a demonstration in front of the
ant's house where
the news stations film the group singing "We shall
overcome". Jesse
then has the group kneel down to pray to God for the
grasshopper's sake.
Al Gore calls a media meeting to announce that the
ant has gotten rich
off the back of the grasshopper, and calls for an
immediate tax hike on
the ant to make him pay his "fair share".
Finally, the EEOC drafts the "Economic Equity and
Anti-Grasshopper Act",
retroactive to the beginning of the summer. The ant
is fined for failing
to hire a proportionate number of green bugs and,
having nothing left to
pay his retroactive taxes, his home is confiscated
by the government.
Hillary gets her old law firm to represent the
grasshopper in a
defamation suit against the ant, and the case is
tried before a panel of
federal judges that Bill appointed from a list of
single-parent welfare
recipients. The ant loses the case.
The story ends as we see the grasshopper finishing
up the last bits of
the ant's food while the government house he is in,
which just happens
to be the ant's old house, crumbles around him
because he doesn't
maintain it. The ant has disappeared in the snow. The grasshopper is
found dead in a drug related incident and the house,
now abandoned, is
taken over by a gang of spiders who terrorize the
once peaceful
neighborhood.


MORAL OF THE STORY: Vote Republican

 

ROFLMMFAO....

And you know what, that is exactly how it works today with the liberals...

If you work and/or are successful = punishment

If you’re a lazy *** sitting at home all day = reward


Sorry, but Americans in general really need to pull their heads out and see what liberals are really about…

 

haha, that was good

 

That is really funny, and true, at least you can usually trust republicans to keep their hands out of your wallet.

 

BAH-HUM-BUG!

That's old by the way:santa:

 

Hey everyone guess what!!!! LGJ has already seen it, go figure. j/k

 

Who cares if it's old? Geesh what a tool.

Point is if you want less money in your pocket, vote Democrat. If you want more, vote Republican. This country is about rewarding hard work, not penalizing it. I lol every time I read that story.

 

It appears to me the story had a negative impact on you. Why should it, if that's what Democrats really are??

 

Because sometimes the truth hurts...
