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.  |
While I respectfully disagree with you since it is your right to have an opposing position on Obama and his potential voters I don't think it is fair for you to place all of Obama's supporters into clueless lemmings. I did my research on both candidates and as an independent voter made up my mind to vote for the candidate with the best judgment and vision. McCain's choice of Palin was a reckless political move that has positioned this woman entirely too close to the presidency. That in and of itself was very bad judgment and in no way puts "country first" but more "campaign first". Not to mention his prior record of voting against minorities and women's issues was abysmally poor to say the least. I used factcheck.org to find the candidate that came closest to addressing issues and facts rather than mudslinging which McCain is infamous for.
As far as "spreading the wealth" is concerned you need to see the entire you tube video of Obama's conversation with Joe the Plumber to understand his take on how the middle class need a tax break. It's an easy concept to understand so allow me to break it down for you...When people (middle class) have more income then they will spend more on goods and/or services thus STIMULATING the economy. So lets say Joe the Plumber has saved an additional $2000 dollars in taxes then he is likely to spend it on a down payment for a new car. Then GM makes some $$$.
See? that was easy!
Also, I have some server friends and I suggest you DO NOT go back to that restaurant unless you want to eat food that has been tainted in some disgusting way.
