A Wealth Redistribution Proposal
Some people are dismayed that Obama the Redistributor has won.

I propose that Obama set up a special "give back to the rich" fund.

People who make under $250k will be able to determine just how much they saved in taxes compared to what would have been McCain's plan (using the calculator from Obama's web site). They can then take the amount they saved and send it to the GBTTR fund, whose proceeds will then be distributed back to the people who make more than $250k. Everyone's happy!

1. Better still give it all to the meek
by all accounts they're gonna finish up inheriting everything anyway.
