RE-DISTRUBUTION OF WEALTH

I found this one on a forum from "Candy" (user name) and had to post it. It was too good not to. I think I will give it a try the next time I am out and about. Why not try it for yourself I bet it will leave a lasting impact.

I can't wait.

"Now I understand what they mean.... I need to remember this.

Subject: Redistribution of wealth

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 $5 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 needed the money more.

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

BTW if you get a chance to download Hannity's last hour from Friday do it. It was only Obama supporters and they were asked to say why they supported him. It may be painful to listen to not only the comments but to Hannity. Wow, what a listen it was though. Sorry I am one of those people that really do not like to listen to him. He is as hard and un-wavering on the Republican side as Air America is for the Democrats’. I want some balanced debate because both sides can benefit from the ideas of one another. That is, if they will stop towing the party line and use common sense for a change. However, most are just too concerned with themselves and their pandering constituents than what would be good for the country as a whole.

As far as this election goes we have Ultra Liberal, Liberal, and just plain nuts. There I think that sums up the entire ticket. This is truly a best of the worst campaign. I fear we may never see the Moderate Democrats like Zell Miller or the Conservatives like Ronald Reagan for a long time to come if ever.

Just side note: Have you ever read Thomas Pain's "Common Sense" or how about Poor Richard's (Ben Franklin) wisdom on Hints for those that would be Rich. How about anything that our founding fathers put to paper. The internet is a great tool if you will use it.
