Redistribution may take time to catch on

Yesterday, as I headed for lunch at Doe's, I passed one of the homeless guys in that area with a sign that read "VOTE OBAMA, I NEED THE MONEY"

Once in Doe's, my waiter had on an "OBAMA 08" tee shirt.

When the bill came I decided not to tip the waiter. I explained to him that while he had given me exceptional service, that his tee shirt had convinced me that he obviously believes in Senator Obama's
plan to redistribute the wealth. I told him that I was going to "redistribute" his tip to someone I deemed more in need....the homeless guy outside. He stood there in disbelief and angrily stormed away.

I went out side and gave the homeless guy the $3 and told him to thank the waiter inside as I had decided that he could use the money more. The homeless guy looked at me in disbelief, but seemed greatful.

As I got into my truck, I realized that this rather unscientific redistribution experiment had left the homeless guy quite happy for the money he did not earn, but the waiter was pretty darned angry that I gave away the money he did earn.

I guess this redistribution of wealth is going to take awhile to catch on, with those doing the work............................

Don't know who sent me this, but I got a chuckle. Too bad the waiter wasn't wearing a RP tee. He'd have gotten his tip and would have gotten to keep it all...................

An Experiment Worth Continuing

When the majority of the people realize just what a house of cards our monetary system really is and how this redistribution of wealth will create even more "homeless" poor, this is an experiment worth continuing!

The reaction is a bit different when someone actually sees

the the product of their labors being redistributed. Good story, good experiment. I wish I had thought of doing exactly the same thing. If the opportunity presents itself, I think it would be a few dollars well spent. The experiment strikes me as a variation of an act once undertaken by a very brave lady named: Vivien Kellems.

That sounds like one of Aesops fables.

Thank you.

Oh that is classic I love

Oh that is classic I love it. I guess when it finally hits home its not so fun huh? These Obama pukes have no idea that some people actually go out there and work 84 hours a week for the good money they make. If everyone had to pay taxes and there was no redistrubution then people would get the hint. I love the fact that the Obama supporter got a piece of his own medicine.

Yes, I agree!

This is fantastic. It's clear and concise--good for education. Socialists just don't understand until they're the ones losing out..
