My daughter goes to Auburn and she was telling me that she was going to vote for Obama. I asked her why. She told me that she felt that people that make more money should be taxed higher so they can give the money to the less fortunate. I asked her if she thought our family should pay more in taxes and she said yes. So I said, let me understand this, I worked very hard for what we have and to get to where I am in life. I already pay a much higher percentage of my earning that the average person and the top 5% wage earners of the country pay 98% of all the taxes already. She said, I know dad but other people need it.
So I said how are your grades at Auburn, she said you know I am a straight A student. Then I said how is your friend Tish doing this semester. She said not good, she is really struggling and she will be lucky if she can maintain a C average, I just hope she does not flunk out.
I then said, that would be terrible if she did not make it at Auburn, i know you guys are great friends. So I told her .... here is an idea, why not go to the dean at Auburn and tell him that you want to reduce your grades to a B and see if he will raise Tish's grades to a B too. I told her that a B is still a good grade and she would be helping Tish.
My daughter said no way dad, I work really hard for my grades while Tish skips class and stays out late partying. That would not be fair to me. I earned my A grades through my hard work, if Tish and I both have B's then there is no reason I should work so hard to maintain my A grades.
I then said ... sweetheart, welcome to the republican party.
