POLITICS This pretty much sums it up

[TedH]

"Yesterday on my way to 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 the Doe's my waiter had on a "Obama 08" tee shirt.

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

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

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

Well, I guess this redistribution of wealth is going to take a while to catch on, with those doing the work."

You goofed up a mite there Ted.

In real life, YOU (the governmental benifactor) needed to keep at least $2.50 of the three dollars to meet expenses incured. After all, there are probably ten people needed to distribute that wealth. They all need to be paid above average wages, Insurance, and retirement benifits...

In fact, you prolly shoulda had the homeless guy fill out a stack of papers and wait a month or two before flipping him a shiney new nickle!

Subtle yet powerful. It must catch on.

How 'bout; Not too subtle, yet powerful. Kinda like a .500 S&W Derringer!?!?!?

Never claimed it was my story, that's why I put the whole thing in "quotes".

I just thought it was good for a chuckle.
