From a friend in Washington....State that is...

A creative approach to redistribution of wealth as offered in a local newspaper .....

Today on my way to lunch, I passed a homelss guy with a sign that read "Vote Obama,I need the money," I laughed.
Once in the restaurant, my waiter had on an "Obama 08" tie, again I laughed as he had given away his political preference.
Just imagine that when the bill came, I decided not to tip the waiter 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 waiter angily stormed from my sight in a huff.
I went outside, gave the homeless guy the $10 tip, and told him to thank the waiter inside as I had decided he could use the money more. The homeless guy was really grateful.
At the end of my rather unscientific redistribution experiment, I realized the homelss guy was grateful for the money he did NOT earn, but the waiter was pretty angry that I gave away the money that he DID earn even though I decided the homeless guy needed it more.
I guess redistribution of wealth is an easier thing to swallow in concept than in practical application.
