The pragmatist

Last night we were at a family party. On the drive home we gave a ride to a woman who is a distant relative of Mathilde's, and also a member of the Danish Parliament. When Anna found out the woman was in parliament, she immediately asked, "who do you think should be Prime Minister?". Now, the woman is a left-winged politician, and the current Prime Minster is right winged (the Danish right wing starts perhaps left of the Democrats in the States). The woman responded that she certainly didn't think it should be the current prime minister. Anna asked, "Why not?". The woman mentioned a few things, but her main reason was that, "he only wants to help the rich people, and doesn't want to help the poor people."
Anna responded with all the outrage a 6 year old can muster, "That isn't very nice of him!". She was quiet for a minute and then said, "Well, I wanna be rich then!".
