I watched Mel Brook’s “Robin Hood: Men in Tights” the other night. I thought it interesting, since so many have compared Obama to Robin Hood.

The line “rob from the rich, give to the poor” was repeated a few times.

However, Brooks repeated many times why the poor were poor...because the Nobles had raised their taxes until nothing was left; they weren’t allowed to hunt in the “King’s forest” or take crops from the “King’s land.” Meanwhile, the elite Nobles lived in luxury.

Sounds familiar.

Sounds prophetic....that's creepy.
