I saw a homeless guy with a sign that read “Vote Obama, I need the money.” I laughed and went into the restaurant.
In the restaurant I noted that my server had on an “Obama 08″ tie,
By the time the bill came I had decided not to tip the server. Instead I explained to him that I was applying the Obama redistribution of wealth concept. The waiter stood there in disbelief when I told him that I was going to redistribute his tip to someone I deemed more in need of the money, the homeless dude outside.
The server was not happy!
As I left the restaurant, I gave the homeless dude the tip money and told him to thank the server inside as I’ve decided he could use the money more. The homeless guy was grateful.
By now you have realized that the homeless guy was grateful for the money he did not earn, but the waiter was very unhappy that I gave away the money he had earned even although the recipient deserved money more.
So now you can see the actual redistribution of wealth is easier to accept in concept than in practical application!
I read the above on a post my friend Tory made on MySpace. I'm not sure where she read it from, but Google tells me I can find it here and I assume that's the original source.
I'm left speechless.
Despite all things, I'm happy Barack Obama was elected as the 44th President of the United States last night. A change will come.
