The cost is $92.84 per scoop...so out of a hundred dollar bill you are at least promised some CHANGE..!

When purchased it will be presented to you in a large beautiful cone, but after you pay for it, the ice cream is taken out of the cone and given to the person in line behind you at no charge.

You are left with an almost empty wallet, staring at an empty cone and wondering what just happened. Then you realize this is what "redistribution of wealth" is all about.

Aren't you just stimulated?

I'm no fan of Obama or of the ice cream you describe, judging from its flavor composition, but I bet it's no better or worse than the ice cream they serve at the Republican National Committee's ice cream stand. There, only rich people can actually buy ice cream, but the 99% are encouraged to sit on the ground at their feet as the rich eat, hoping to get some ice cream as the hot sun makes it "trickle down" into their waiting mouths.

Needless to say, it's cold as hell at the RNC ice cream stand, by design, and nothing ever trickles down.
