The parable is oversimplisitic because it did not mention the fact that without the grasshopper's hopping and leaf-shaking efforts, the plants' pollinatng and fruit-bearing activities would have not occurred, without which, the ant would have no food to load and hoard.
Of course, the ant epitomizes the Republicans' proclivity to hoard. I think, however, that the modern ant does not anymore do the hoarding and warehousing tasks himself. The wealthy ant, who is now a Halliburton capitalist/contractor or vendor , only takes advantage of the cheap labor of a colony of friendly termites from the border
