THE NEXT TIME YOU GO OUT TO EAT- DO THIS! YOU WILL BE HELPING SOMEONE!

John Hawkins had this heartwarming lil' story passed on to him and I'm passing it on to you.

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 in the restaurant my server had on a "Obama 08" tie, again I laughed as he had given away his political preference--just 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 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 was pretty 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 (ask the waiter) "

What a great way to get the "pixie dust" out of people's eyes! It speaks to where they actually are in the real world, where they live, and it cuts right through what they "learned" from Perfesser Krapotkin in any of the infinite varieties of Socialism 101 they attended in what used to be called college (you know, like English, Sociology, History, Art..etc...etc.).
