If you want candy, collect your own

Trick or treating kids ring the bell at a house. The person answering the door says, "Look how much candy you have. I'm sure you are very proud to have worked so long and hard to gather all that candy. Hopefully you will keep most of it and share the rest with kids who are unable to go trick or treating."

The kids go to next the house and ring the bell. The person answering the door says, "Look how much candy you have. I'm going to take half and give it to kids too lazy to go trick or treating for themselves."

With that, the kids become very demoralized and think, "Why should I work so hard for this candy? They will only take it away from me and give it to someone who hasn't earned it."

Obama, Pelosi and Reid reside in the second house with their "spread around the wealth" socialistic desires. I'm voting for McCain.
