I'll have to include this in our next social studies lesson.
@Mahm: Make sure you include the Halloween story too: After all of the kids return from Halloween, the government makes you show all of your candy. Then they take some from everyone to give it to those kids who didn't want to or were too lazy to go trick or treating for themselves. Those kids decided to just wait for the government to give them some of yours that you went out to get. That's how I explained the cheaters on governments assistant to my kidlet. To that he said "hey, wait a minute! I worked hard to get that candy!" Ah ha...he got it immediately. The next day, he went to school and told the teacher, AND his friends. The teacher, being a Democrat, was not very happy with me at all.It was an oversimplified story, but it was effective and home hitting to the kids.
