THIS IS FROM A FRIENDS POST ON FACEBOOK!  LOVE IT!!  Check out his new non-profit: Reagan.org  this is the conservative answer to moveon.  

I went out to dinner.

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.
