On Obama’s Redistributing Wealth

In case you did not hear, there has been a important discovery made concerning Obama’s belief’s regarding the redistribution of wealth.  A recording of a conversation Obama had in 2001 on public broadcasting in Illinois has Obama noting that the Warren Court could have been more radical during the civil rights era. In addition to mandating civil rights (with which I agree), they could have mandated redistributing wealth, which is socialism at best and marxism at worst. He doesn’t belief it can be done in the judicial branch, but does feel that it can and should be done legislatively.

Here is the video:

It could be that the constitution contains a deep flaw that continues to this day:

This morning, one of my facebook friends posted an email from someone regarding wealth distribution:

Yesterday on my way to lunch, I passed a homeless guy with a sign that read “Vote Obama, I need the money”.”

Once in the restaurant, my waiter had on a “Obama 08″ t-shirt.

When the bill came, I decided not to tip the waiter. I explained to him that he had given me exceptional service, but his tee shirt made me feel he obviously believes in Senator Obama’s plan to redistribute the wealth. I told him that, although I am a McCain voter, in the spirit of bi-partisanship, 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 $5 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.

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

But, at least I gave it a fair shot.

What do you think?
