A practical application of the "spread the wealth" concept

A friend of mine sent this email to me today. I haven't yet determined if this was actually my friends experience or not, but I love the story so here it is ...

Today on my way to lunch I passed a guy hanging around 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 although he had done a great job, and had worked hard to make my dining experience great, I was going to redistribute his tip to someone who I deemed more in need--the guy outside. The server angrily stormed from my sight.

I went outside, gave the other guy $10 and told him to thank the server inside as I've decided he could use the money more. He was grateful.

At the end of my rather unscientific redistribution experiment I realized the the one 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 needed the money more.

I guess redistribution of wealth is an easier thing to swallow in concept than in practical application.

I implore you all to embrace the concept. Make it your own. If you're in a similar situation, do Americans a service and engage in a practical application of the concept of wealth redistribution. Teach a leftist / Marxist / Socialist a lesson they won't soon forget.
