...on "If Obama Is Elected President and Actually Does What He Says He Will." Stay tuned.

Joe and Bob are neighbors. Joe started out as a fry cook at McDonald's and worked hard and now is general manager over all the McDonald's in southern Texas. Bob was working as a fry cook at Jack in the Box for 27 years, but was laid off a few months ago and has been unable to find reemployment.

One day, Joe comes home with a big Christmas bonus. Bob is infuriated. He calls up the local NAE (National Association for Equality).

NAE: National Association for Equality, how may I help you?
Bob: I just got laid off and my neighbor just got a big raise!
NAE: Hmm, that is disturbing. How much?
Bob: I just sifted through his garbage...almost $25,000!!! And I can't make my mortgage payment.
NAE: Sir, I completely understand. That is outrageous. I'll bet he bought something pretty with it, yes?
Bob: Yeah, I saw him meeting with someone about a pool yesterday!! And I'm eating Ramen Noodles! This is really ticking me off...
NAE: Sir, it's okay. We'll send someone over right away.

15 minutes later, a car pulls into Joe's driveway. Two men get out and knock on the door.

Joe: Hello? Can I help you?
NAE: Yes, we are from the NAE. We have reports of a large bonus.
Joe: Uh...well, yeah. I worked my butt off last year and my stores are now the highest grossing in the country! [Joe grins, obviously proud of himself] It took a lot, I didn't think I'd be able to...
NAE: [interrupting] How much was the bonus?
Joe: Um, I'm sorry?
NAE: I have a court order here, if you don't want to volunteer the information we can confiscate your bank records.
Joe: Well...um...it was...about $24,000.
NAE: That's too much.
Joe: What? No, I earned all of it.
NAE: Did you know that your neighbor Bob is struggling to make his mortgage? Did you know that he's living on Ramen Noodles?
Joe: He sits in his house and plays Guitar Hero all day! He hasn't looked for a job in 7 months!
NAE: The economy is slow.
Joe: HE IS LAZY! I earned every penny of my...
NAE: No excuses. It's entirely unacceptable what you are doing to Bob. I'm going to have to take $10,000.
Joe: WHAT?!
NAE: I...HAVE...A...COURT...ORDER!

After a bit more arguing, Joe gives the NAE the money and they walk over to Bob's house. They knock on the mostly broken door and hand him the check.

NAE: Here you are, sir. So sorry about that, you just let us know if it happens again.
Bob: Yeah, well, you guys are kind of slacking, I shouldn't have had to call. But I understand, it happens. We all struggle in these hard, hard times.

The NAE gives Bob a knowing, understanding smile and drives away.
