Well, do you like the fact that Robin Hood redistributed the wealth to poor folks? Hey, sorry to spoil your childhood fantasies of Robin Hood, Swamp Fox and Sir Lancelot, et. al., but it sure seems to me that you're really no fan of Robin Hood--lol! And, frankly, given the GOPwinger behavior with the oil companies and the court system methinks you folks are more like the Sherriff of Nottingham except the extortion comes from other means other than taxes! But then there's the story of Warren Buffet's rate of taxation versus that of his secretary. Admit it, JLA, you're with the Sherriff of Nottingham!

How ironic. The moment I began reading the below ost, about how Bush blew it giving so much money to the rich, my instant thought was: "Robin Hood-in-Reverse." Interestingly, that very same and precise term was used in the text of the reference: >>>Paul Krugman, a Princeton economist who writes for the New York Times, notes in his Monday column that “for 30 years American politics has been dominated by a political movement practicing Robin-Hood-in-Reverse, giving unto those that hath while taking from those who don’t.”<<< Message 25106201
