A friend of mine went into a local restaurant where her server had on a "Obama 08" tie. She laughed and thought how stupid to be waiting on the public with perhaps a different political point of view. He had given away his political preference--and a possible tip...just imagine the coincidence.
When her bill came she decided not to tip the server and explained to him that she
was exploring the Obama redistribution of wealth concept. He stood there in total disbelief while she told him that she was going to redistribute his tip to someone who she deemed more in need--the homeless guy outside. Her server angrily stormed from my sight.
She went outside, gave the homeless guy $10 and told him to thank the server inside stating she decided he, the homeless guy, could use the money more. The homeless guy was grateful and rushed inside.
At the end of her rather unscientific redistribution experiment she realized the homeless guy was grateful for the money he did not earn, but the waiter was pretty angry that she had given away the money he had earned even though the recipient needed the money more.
I guess redistribution of wealth is an easier thing to swallow in concept than in practical application. AMEN!!!!
