  • Respect-O-Meter: Valued Neighbor


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

Once in Logan's my waiter had on an "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.

This election/politic thing is simple: If you support Obamama then give up your guns and open your pocket book so that he can "redistribute" your wealth. According to the polls that would be the "majority" of the people. If you are for McCain then keep your guns and your money, since you are in the "minority" it should not hurt Hussein's master plan. Unlike the "minorities" of the past the present day "minority" is law abiding and productive so they would not be a drain on the system. Let Obama try and work his plan with his "majority" without our "minority

Don't Republicans redistribute wealth when they create 10 trillion in national debt and pass in on to the next generation?

Com'on rocket man, show us the difference.

THE SPIN: "I've offered spending cuts above and beyond their cost."

THE FACTS: Independent analysts say both Obama and Republican John McCain would deepen the deficit. The nonpartisan Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget estimates Obama's policy proposals would add a net $428 billion to the deficit over four years - and that analysis accepts the savings he claims from spending cuts. The nonpartisan Tax Policy Center, whose other findings have been quoted approvingly by the Obama campaign, says: "Both John McCain and Barack Obama have proposed tax plans that would substantially increase the national debt over the next 10 years." The analysis goes on to say: "Neither candidate's plan would significantly increase economic growth unless offset by spending cuts or tax increases that the campaigns have not specified."

here ya go stockboy, NOBAMAS plans WILL INCREASE THE DEFICIT BY 428 BILLION, or is it that your behind nobama for the free handouts? Afterall i know what a walmart employee makes, and the idea that because i make more than you that i should share what i make with you is absolutely absurd.

If you dont believe its absurd, open your wallet and share YOUR wealth with a mcdonalds employee. I dont mean by purchasing a sandwich, i mean just give your money to an employee......sounds absurd doesnt it?
