in Polls: Ohio Slipping Away From McCain on The Washington Independent
Here is a creative approach to 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 I 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 fool's political game !!

Hmmm lets goto McCains own words in a town hall meeting
Audience member: Why is it that someone like my father who goes to school for 13 years gets penalized in a huge tax bracket because he's a doctor?
John McCain: I think it's to some degree because we feel obviously that wealthy people can afford more.
Audience member: Are we getting closer and closer to, like, socialism 'n stuff?
McCain: Here's what I really believe: That when you reach a certain level of comfort, there's nothing wrong with paying somewhat more.
Why are republicans so easily manipulated by your party? Do you believe everything they put out? If they asked you to jump off a bridge would you?
Look at our tax rate system and understand basic 101 that any 3rd grader could - we tax progressively so that the tax rate increases as the amount subject to taxation increases. In simple terms, it imposes a greater burden (relative to resources) on the rich than on the poor. In general, the U.S. income tax is progressive, at least with respect to individuals that earn wage income.
Keep irritating your wait staff and hopefully next time they spit in your food. Thats because they are redistributing their spit so idiots like you can share in its glory...
