Redistribute the 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 inside the restaurant my server had on an “Obama 08” necktie, again I laughed as

he had given away his political preference … 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 off.



I went outside, gave the homeless guy $10 and told him to thank the server inside as I had

decided that he could use the money more.



The homeless guy was grateful. At the end of my 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 that he earned even though the recipient needed it more.



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