Approach to redistribution of wealth

[FriscoDog]

Here is a creative approach to redistribution of wealth as offered in a local newspaper...

Today on my way to lunch I passed a homeless guy with a sign that
read "Vote Obama, I need the money." I laughed.

Once in the restaurant my server had on a "Obama 08" tie, again 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 rather 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.
OR IS IT.........REDISTRIBUTION OF SOMEONE ELSE'S WEALTH IS A GREAT IDEA.............
.or just a fools game !!

A very simple, yet logical way to think about it. A very good example. I like it.

Growing jobs to give opportunities to people who don't want to work doesn't add up..... the lazy and worthless still don't want to work. They're perfectly happy with all those handouts at the expense of those of us who do work.

Show me someone who has to use one hand to hold his pants up and I'll show you someone who is unemployable.
