But what if Mary earned a GPA of 8.0, but since she is only allowed to keep 4.0 of it, she has to give the college the other 4.0 of her average? And instead of giving all that extra GPA the college is getting free from students to other students having a tough time, it keeps the extra GPA and wastes it on things like other illegal colleges? Then the college and its supporters complain that people are wanting a "free ride" when they demand some of the free GPA back that the college is getting from them and just wasting?

Now replace "GPA" with the word "taxes" and "illegal colleges" with "illegal war".

Billions in taxes paid to the government, but only a tiny percentage ever gets back to the people - and even that small percentage back gets complained about by some people.

Rafterman slowly smiled and said, "Welcome to the Republican Party".

here is the truth nancy,,,

A young teenage girl was about to finish her first year of college. She considered herself to be a very liberal Democrat but her father was a rather staunch Republican.

One day she was challenging her father on his beliefs and his opposition to taxes and welfare programs. He stopped her and asked her how she was doing in school.

She answered that she had a 4.0 GPA but it was really tough. She had to study all the time, never had time to go out and party. She didn''''t have time for a boyfriend and didn''''t really have many college friends because of spending all her time studying.

He asked, "How is your friend Mary." She replied that Mary was barely getting by. She had a 2.0 GPA, never studied, but was very popular on campus, went to all the parties all the time. Why she often didn''''t show up for classes because she was hung over.

Dad then asked his daughter why she didn''''t go to the Dean''''s office and ask why she couldn''''t take 1.0 off her 4.0 and give it to her friend who only had a 2.0. That way they would both have a 3.0 GPA.

The daughter angrily fired back, "That wouldn''''t be fair, I worked really hard for mine and Mary has done nothing".

The father slowly smiled and said, "Welcome to the Republican Party".
