As long as Abhay K. Jain has raised this issue:
-----------------------------------------------
The difference between Republicans and Democrats is this:
if a Republican who cannot swim sees a man drowning 50 feet from
shore, he throws the man a 25-foot rope and tells him to swim the
rest of the way because it's good for him.  If a Democrat who
cannot swim sees a man drowning 50 feet from shore, he throws the
man a 100-foot rope, then drops the other end and goes off to do
another good deed.
