A Day in the Life of Joe Republican

I received the below e-mail from a group I'm on and thought I should share. So what are your thoughts on this? Is it right or wrong?

Namaste,

A Day in the Life of Joe Republican


Joe gets up at 6:00 AM to prepare his morning coffee.
He fills his pot with good clean drinking water because some liberal fought
for minimum water quality standards. He takes his daily medications with
his first swallow of coffee. His medications are safe to take because some
liberal fought to insure their safety and to work as advertised.

All but $10.00 of his medications are paid for by his employers medical plan
because some liberal union workers fought their employers for paid medical
insurance, now Joe gets it too. He prepares his morning breakfast, bacon and
eggs this day. Joe's bacon is safe to eat because some liberal fought for
laws to regulate the meat packing industry.

Joe takes his morning shower reaching for his shampoo; His bottle is
properly labeled with every ingredient and the amount of its contents
because some liberal fought for his right to know what he was putting on his
body and how much it contained. Joe dresses, walks outside and takes a deep
breath. The air he breathes is clean because some tree-hugging liberal
fought for laws to stop industries from polluting our air. He walks to the
subway station for his government subsidized ride to work; it saves him
considerable money in parking and transportation fees. You see, some liberal
fought for affordable public transportation, which gives everyone the
opportunity to be a contributor.

Joe begins his work day; he has a good job with excellent pay, medical
benefits, retirement, paid holidays and vacation because some liberal union
members fought and died for these working standards. Joe's employer pays
these standards because Joe's employer doesn't want his employees to call
the union. If Joe is hurt on the job or becomes unemployed he'll get a
worker compensation or unemployment check because some liberal didn't think
he should lose his home because of his temporary misfortune.

It's noon time, Joe needs to make a Bank Deposit so he can pay some bills.
Joe's deposit is federally insured by the FSLIC because some liberal wanted
to protect Joe's money from unscrupulous bankers who ruined the banking
system before the depression.

Joe has to pay his Fannie Mae underwritten mortgage and his below market
federal student loan because some stupid liberal decided that Joe and the
government would be better off if he were educated and earned more money
over his lifetime.

Joe is home from work. He plans to visit his father this evening at his farm
home in the country. He gets in his car for the drive to dad's; his car is
among the safest in the world because some liberal fought for car safety
standards. He arrives at his boyhood home. He was the third generation to
live in the house financed by Farmers Home Administration because bankers
didn't want to make rural loans. The house didn't have electricity until
some big government liberal stuck his nose where it didn't belong and
demanded rural electrification. (Those rural Republicans would still be
sitting in the dark)

He is happy to see his dad who is now retired. His dad lives on Social
Security and his union pension because some liberal made sure he could take
care of himself so Joe wouldn't have to. After his visit with dad, he gets
back in his car for the ride home. He turns on a radio talk show, the hosts keeps saying
that liberals are bad and conservatives are good. (He doesn't tell Joe that
his beloved Republicans have fought against every protection and
benefit Joe enjoys throughout his day) Joe agrees, we don't need those
big government liberals ruining our lives; after all, I'm a self made man who
believes everyone should take care of themselves, just like I have"
