Obama is taking from the people to give to other people. The government is sacrificing nothing. The villain is the rich.

Robin Hood took from the tax collector, and gave back to those from whom taxes were collected. That’s a tax cut. He wasn’t redistributing, he was refunding.

>> Had Robin Hood stopped the tax collectors from collecting taxes, I would say you had an excellent point.

The primary villain was the Sheriff of Nottingham — the tax collector who took money from working stiffs to fill government coffers.

Not a tax cut. He did not give proportionally give back according to how they were taxed. Hood stole from a pool of money and then distributed the money according to his personal whims. Same as Obama.
