A lady friend of mine sent the following...

Yesterday on my way to lunch at Doe's, I passed one of the homeless guys in
that area, with a sign that read "Vote Obama, I need the money."

Once in the Doe's my waiter had on a "Obama 08" tee shirt.

When the bill came, I decided not to tip the waiter and explained to him
while he had given me exceptional service, that his tee shirt made me feel
he obviously believes in Senator Obama's plan to redistribute the wealth.
I told him I was going to redistribute his tip to someone that I deemed more
in need--the homeless guy outside. He stood there in disbelief and angrily
stormed away.

I went outside, gave the homeless guy $3 and told him to thank the waiter
inside, as I had decided he could use the money more. The homeless guy
looked at me in disbelief but seemed grateful.

As I got in my truck, I realized this rather unscientific redistribution
experiment had left the homeless guy quite happy for the money he did not
earn, but the waiter was pretty angry that I gave away the money he did
earn.

Well, I guess this redistribution of wealth is going to take a while to
catch on, with those doing the work.
