this is a big chain mail going out.. Please read and discuss

[font=verdana, arial, helvetica]Today on my way to lunch I passed a homeless guy with a sign that read " Vote Obama, I need themoney." 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 thecoincidence.



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 $10 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 waspretty angry that I gave away the money he did earn even though the actual recipient deserved money more.



I guess redistribution of wealth is an easier thing to swallow in concept than in practical application.[/font]

Good story....and I see what you tried to accomplish ...but that isnt a fair assessment at all on how redistribution of wealth works on a national scale

I got this email in my inbox from 4 different people.. this email is going to be everywhere

FAIL. That wasn't a practical application. You broke a folkway of American etiquette, therefore the server had a reason to be upset. It was righteous andhilarious though.

So your saying Obama's economy theory is going to give people who don't work at all money from those who work? Obviously if you believe that you shouldbe deemed unable to vote. That is just stupid anyone with common sense would first realize nothing like that could ever happen and go through congress.

 

[you right]

your a jerk, in a good way

 

[omega shenron]

God help the people who are influenced by dumb forwarded e-mails.

 

[gumbottombandit]

question is, did you forward that junk mail to anyone else?

 

[ebayologist]

I don't think it quite works like that. But still

 

[datznasty]

That's not how it works at all.

So if you were the practice the McCain concept of wealth, you would have tipped the server 80% and punched the homeless guy in the stomach on your way out.

Should have put "I need the CHANGE"

 

[frankie calentino]

No, with the Mccain theory, you wouldn't have tipped the waiter anyway and still punched the homeless guy.
