Today on my way to lunch I passed a homeless guy with a sign that read "Vote Obama, I need the money."
Once in the restaurant my server had on a necktie that read "Obama 08".
When the bill came I decided not to tip the server and explained to him that I was exploring the Obama redistribution of wealth concept. He stood there in
disbelief while I told him that I was going to redistribute his tip to someone who I deemed more in need - the homeless guy outside. The server angrily
stormed from my sight. I went outside, gave the homeless guy $5 and told him to thank the server inside
as I've decided he could use the money more. The homeless guy was grateful. At the end of my rather unscientific redistribution experiment I realized the
homeless guy was grateful for the money he did not earn, but the waiter was pretty angry that I gave away the money he earned even though Obama says the
actual recipient deserved money more.
I guess redistribution of wealth is an easier thing to swallow in concept than in practical application. Its great for the deadbeats but not so great for
those that work.
