In a local restaurant my server had on an Obama ?08 pin, I laughed as he had given away his political preference. Since he supported Obama, I figured I would use Obama's plan on him to see if he really agrees with it or is just another lemming following the "Obama Herd".
So when the bill came I decided not to tip him and explained to him that I was exploring the Obama redistribution of wealth concept that he supported and proudly displayed on his button.
He stood there in disbelief while I told him that I was going to redistribute his tip to someone whom I deemed more in need; the homeless guy outside. The server angrily stormed from my sight mumbling bad things under his breath.
I went outside, gave the homeless guy $15 and told him to thank the server inside as I?ve decided he could use the money more and that is the ideology the server supported and believed in. The homeless guy was extremely 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 the money more.
I guess redistribution of wealth is an easier thing to swallow in concept than in practical application.
Think hard when you go to the polls to vote, people. Don't be a lemming and jump on the Obama bandwagon. Read about this guy and understand how it will affect your life and your business.
