"Come on into my parlour", said the spider....
:evilgrin: Yes, you can cut the taxes on your wealthy friends - enough to save Social Security - and then ask the old folks to take a cut in benefits, and raise the deficit by two trillion dollars. That's a swell idea. Come in and sit down and let's see if we can agree on that....said the spider.

1. "Really?", said the Fly... "Because you promised to save me
from the Bird, I'm sure you must be right. What do you need me to do?"

2. The Scorpion and the Turtle
Would you help me cross the river?" The scorpion asks the turtle.
"Hop on!" Says the turtle generously, "but you have to promise not to sting me?"
"I promise." The scorpion declares.
He then hops on. The turtle swims across the river. Just as they get to the other bank the scorpion stings the turtle.
"Why did you do that?" Asks the turtle painfully right before he takes his last breath and sinks under the water.
"it is in my nature..." The scorpion answers. Aesop's Fables
