Distribution of Wealth (from somewhere on the Internet)

I think I got it now!!

Today 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 server had on a "Obama 08" tie. He had given away his political preference.

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 am beginning to understand this redistribution of wealth concept.

Distribution of Wealth? Sure sounds like Socialism to me Rolling Eyes

To be quite frank and blunt, if people living in the US want socialism then they should denounce their citizenship, leave the US, and become a citizen of a country that already embraces socialism. Our country was founded as and still is a democracy. God help us if the liberals and socialists ever get their way.

I have to agree with you on the socialism. But, even so, if someone can't see that were moving into a new age communist society, God help them. Could Obama be the one they plan to appoint as "king of the world"?

Off topic: We have no reason to question God, for it is we who should be questioned in the darkest hour.

Whether socialism, democratic, liberals or whatever else, honestly i neither care, when there are many innocent people suffering at the hands of all the wrong policies no matter what title.

Me myself, i am neither a signatory for political fighting, or a participator of any religion, however, i refrain from any involvement with a political party(i.e.voting), and will not categorise myself as any religion although i have faith, so to refrain from biasness in the world.

I am a freeist, shunt we all be as long as we all righteously good?

As for reference i am a female british resident, and although i respect where i live; love the world just as much, i really am starting to dislike the fact any country should have a government, as throughout history they all go wrong, or mainly from the start they never actually fully do good.

If God judges then why do so many people get wrongly punished, though free at will for the chosen?

The innocent may be punished by the hand of man but the unrepentant guilty will be punished by the hand of God. God's judgment is perfect and final.

A lot of punishments are far beyond acceptable.

Lessen your sins, lessons your judgement.

Yes some major offences do require intervention to protect others, but still say for instance, a death penalty or of the many false imprisonments that take place, redefines the issues of punishment, being taken to levels that should not be in our remits of doing.

I don't claim that often i don't get confused, because i do, but in all honesty, i just wish the better ways of reconciliation and compromising would stand more in the defranciation of policies imposed.

You are though correct i believe, as God has all final decisions, but those who purify themselves most, stand more righteous and wise for others to learn.

You, me, everyone else, whatever the beliefs, be taught good, learn good, live good and be free, though always remain thankful and faithful and obediant to the ways towards people.

Respect, honour, trust, loyalty, honesty.
