[StBernard] Laymens term of OBAMAS -- theory of redistributing theWEALTH

[Westley Annis]

The lesson to be learned from this...do Obama's plan and soon we'll all be
he homeless the guy - some by choice.  After all, who will want to work when
you won't have to and just have everything handed to you.

	 In a restaurant my server had on a "Obama 08" pin .   I laughed as
he had given away his political preference--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've decided he could use
the money more. The homeless guy was grateful.
	
	At the end of my 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.
