Our annual dose of Character Training comes like clockwork thanks to scandals that shoot up like summer water spouts ... slim little whips threatening destruction This way or That but sans the staying power of a hurricane or the indiscriminate path of a tornado ... just a tight spin high and steady enough for all to see.

The concept's a bullseye! I think folks are gonna relate to taking from the Rich to ... to ...
(They're gonna give these yachts and mansions to the poor, right? Return the property to the "rightful owners" whose wealth was stolen? Or does the GOP tale of Robin Hood end with the State's getting to keep and/or sell the property somehow?)

Robin Hood didn't steal from the rich to give to the poor. That is what a socialist does (or wants the state to do to give him the cover of legitimacy).
Robin Hood took back from the theiving corrupt rich and gave back to those who had been bilked. This is why the real myth or Robin Hood is and should be a hero.
