OLD VERSION:
The ant worked hard in the withering heat all summer long, building his house and laying up supplies for the winter.
The grasshopper thought the ant to be a fool, laughed, danced,and played the summer away…
Come winter, the ant is warm and well fed. The grasshopper has no food or shelter, so he dies out in the cold.
MORAL OF THE STORY: Be responsible for yourself!
MODERN VERSION:
The ant works hard in the withering heat and the rain all summer long, building his house and laying up supplies for the winter.
The grasshopper thought the ant to be a fool, laughed, danced, and played the summer away…
An alternate ending to the modern version could be a whole bunch of ants rose up and kicked the living shit out of the grasshoppers….
Aesop would be proud! USA in a nutshell.
I like the frogs on the pan of cool water better. Just sit there and relax asshole we’ll take care of you. Also the little Dutch boy, Ted Cruz, with his finger in the dike. And Trey Gowdy as the Boy who Cried Wolf, and cried, and cried , and cried, until somebody said ” shut to fuck up Trey and do something.” And of course “The Wicked Witch/Bitch of the West,” Hillary Clinton who told them all, Issa, Gowdy, the entire Congress, and the Senate, to simply “Fuck off, don’t bother me, and besides, what the fuck difference does it make.”? And “Just what the fuck are you’all gonna do about it,? You lilly livered old white motherfuckers?
They hit the nail on the head. But I like ^ Anonymous’ ending better. Of course, that ending is fictional until it actually happens. The ending in the second version is happening every day.

Talk show host, Jim Quinn came up with this new version years ago. BTW, he’s back on the “air” now with live streaming from 6-9 a.m. EST at Warroom.com.
You forgot the part where the grasshopper’s nancy boy friends force the ants to cater a wedding, using their food.
