Simple lesson on distribution of wealth...

I received this as a piece of humor in my email today.

See what you think.

 Redistribution of wealth
 
 
Today on my way to lunch I passed a homeless guy with a sign the read
"Vote Obama, I need the money." I laughed.
 
Once in the restaurant my server had on a "Obama 08" tie, again I
laughed--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 Ive 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.
OR IS IT.........REDISTRIBUTION OF SOMEONE ELSE'S WEALTH IS A GREAT
IDEA..............or just a fools political game called SOCIALISM! !!
