Spending Your Money

One day I was riding to work, the car radio was on, and the emcee of this talk show announced the format of a viewer call in. Tell us the worst thing you have ever done he said. Your identity would remain secret, and the winner would get some sort of prize.

I was in the dining car of a train said the first call-in, just me and an elderly woman.  She was asleep and her purse was open.  I could see a big wad of bills, so I just reached in and grabbed her money and immediately exited.  When I got to my sleeper, I counted over $400 I had taken.

What exclaimed the host!  You had no right to take her money!

The caller explained that she was much younger than the woman she had stolen from so she could spend her money much better than she could!

Next thing you know this show was stopped and no more calls were taken, and no one was awarded any money either.

Well, this is exactly what the Freedom Caucus wants to do.  Take your money because they can spend your money better than you can.
