A Republican and a Democrat were walking down a street when they came upon a homeless person.

The Republican gave the homeless person his business card and told him to come to his office for a job. He then took $20 out of his pocket and gave it to the homeless person, of course later writing it off as a charitable contribution.

The Democrat was very impressed, so when they came upon another homeless person, he decided to help.

He walked over to the homeless person and gave him directions to the welfare office.  He then reached into the Republican’s pocket and got out $20.

He kept $15 for his administration fees and gave the homeless person $5.

Now you understand the difference!
