That was a very mean spirited experiment you did.......But I love it.

I can't stop laughing...

I bet that waiter will never forget your face and what you did.

You ought to get some kind of award for this experiment.... maybe a Noble Peace Prize... Gore got one why can't you.....

I knew it was only a matter of time before someone came in here and started throwing around the $250,000 figure.



I could have bet on you too.

It's not redistribution of wealth if the waiter doesn't get his cut. If the money never touched his hands, then how was it "redistributed"? Also, in any redistribution plan, it would be at least a 50/50 division, not highway robbery, as you suggest! Come on now, you are being a little (or a lot) over dramatic.

Fun experiment...hahaha, but I would hardly call that a practical application of redistribution of wealth. You should probably change the title of this thread to How I stiffed my waiter for outwardly showing his support for Obama

to you....remember, what goes around comes around!

Looks like Bush Tax cut did swing it upward for the rich....They paid more taxes...

IRS data indicate that the richest 1 percent, 5 percent and 10 percent of the taxpayers are shouldering a larger percentage of the income tax burden than they would had the Bush tax cuts never materialized.
* Preliminary 2005 data just released from the Treasury Department show the amount of tax paid by those earning more than $1 million a year increased to $236 billion in 2005, up from $132 billion in 2003, the year of the tax cut.
* This was a 78 percent increase in taxes paid by millionaire households.

Figure 1 suggests that recent movements in the tax data are inconsistent with Obama's perspective. The top line indicates the share of income taxes paid by the top 10 percent of taxpayers. The bottom line indicates the share of income taxes paid by the bottom 90 percent. In 2006, the top 10 percent of earners paid fully 70.8 percent of taxes. That is significantly above the 2000 peak of 67.3 percent--before the Bush tax cut.

This one shows that the rich not the bottom paid the bigger share of taxes..Wealthy paid more even with a tax cut....


I reckon if the guy wants future tips from McCain supporters he should remove the Obama button.
