Republican take on "I cried, for I had no shoes..."

The Republican version:

"I cried, for I had no shoes, until I met a man who had no feet. So I kicked him when he was down, and stole his shirt. Then I felt better. I even told him that I could make better use of his shirt than he could . . ."

2. The rich get richer, and the poor get poorer.

And all is right with the world.

3. Reminds me of "Never criticize someone

unless you've walked a mile in their shoes. That way, when you do criticize them, you're a mile away and you have their shoes." B-)

6. For Some Reason, I Remember This Version:

"When I was a child, I had no shoes for my feet."
"Feet? You had feet?"

8. Monty Python had a really great take on the

one-downmanship . . . and that was in the early 70s (or was it the late 60s?)
