redistribution of wealth

Thank you Cindy W. for passing this on -

 

Here is a creative approach to redistribution of wealth as offered by a reader
of the local newspaper, the Eagle Tribune.

Today on my way to lunch I passed a homeless guy with a sign that read 'Vote
Obama, I need the money.'   I laughed.

Once in the restaurant my server had on a 'Obama 08' tie, again I
laughed--just imagine the coincidence.

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 $10 and told him to thank the server
inside as I 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 did earn even though the actual
recipient deserved money more.

I guess redistribution of wealth is an easier thing to swallow in concept than
in practical application.
 

OR IS IT.........REDISTRIBUTION OF SOMEONE ELSE'S WEALTH IS A GREAT
IDEA..............or just a fool's political game !!
