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.
Happy socialism to all, and to all a good night!

LOL!! That was GREAT!! When you put it in clear terms without the smoke and mirrors (95% will get tax cuts!), it doesn't look so good anymore now does it! Hey, many people have thought that Marxism looks great on paper, but in practice........LOL!! Thanks for posting that, it just brightened my morning!

I can agree that the homeless man needed the money, but I can't agree that he deserved it since he did nothing to earn it.
