[update: Now we know what the Republicans think of Joe-the-plumber, and Joe-the-waiter. But here's what they think of Josaphine-the-911-operator; Apparently, she can go "$%^" herself. Also, Joe-the-little-kid-who-went-to-his-teacher's-wedding"...]

Google Neil Simpson, and "hurry up to ensure that all waitstaff vote for mccain".
It is proof that the conservatives don't understand the Obama plan. Under Obama's plan, people who make under $250,000 will get a tax cut. (note: I changed the previously erroneous "$150,000 to $250,000)
So, to demonstrate how this is bad, Neal fantasizes about how much fun it would be to tell the waitstaff that he will give all of their tips to homeless people instead.
Unless you know some waiters who make more than $250,000 in a year, I'm thinkin that the only thing this will demonstrate to the waitstaff is that Republicans are mean-spirited dick-wads in their real life too.
Although, Neal once again shows his moderate side by acknowledging that the waitstaff earn their tips, rather than treating it as charity (or tipping really well only if they wanted to ask you out, and then never tipping again when you say you are married) like most of the openly religious conservative customers I encountered in my time working as waitstaff (personal favorites, the ones who left religious tracts in leiu of monetary tips).
And he thinks that this will convince them to vote against the guy who says he'll give them a tax cut.
Now, I think it is more likely that Obama will not actually be able to pull off the tax cut for the middle class because there will be too many Republicans in Congress and they will get in the way...
...or it is possible that he is only touting the tax-cut to blow smoke up the skirts of the working class...
but if you take what his plan actually says it will do...it will let the waiter keep more of his tips, and just make the upper 1% pay more of their fair share.
