Quote from: KMAN
Today on my way to lunch I passed a homeless guy with a sign that read "Vote Obama, I need the money." 
 
Once in the restaurant my server had on a necktie that read "Obama 08".  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 earned even though Obama says the
actual recipient deserved money more.

I guess redistribution of wealth is an easier thing to swallow in concept than in practical application. It’s great for the deadbeats but not so great for those that work.

Good start so far.  Then the rocket surgeons begin to chime in...

You seem fine with sending the manager of the resturants money to Haliburton.

why do you think they are any less a redistribution of peoples funds?

Quote from: Truthmatters
To take tax dollars and give them over and over and over again to corporations who have been proven to RIP US OFF is redistribution of wealth.

It is no less so.

You people just like to live in some fantasy world.

The fantasy world is those who think prosperity can somehow be given not earned.
