It is time to Kill Robin Hood

All throughout our childhood we learned the story of Robin Hood. Immortalized, and taught to us as the triumph of the poor over the rich. Robin is ALWAYS pictured as a champion of the poor. But is that the truth?

The popular, and politically motivated, version of the story is that Robin Hood stole from the thieving rich to give to the downtrodden poor worker. Aww, does there exist a more potent symbol for the Socialist utopia?

The TRUTH is that Robin Hood was not a champion of the "poor", but of "property". Prince Richard(the government) was stealing through ever increasing taxation the fruits of the poor farmers labors. The Farmers(the private sector) who was receiving little direct benefit from this legalized theft, were actually supporting their oppressors, while being powerless to stop it.

Along came Robin Hood and his band of merry Men, to save the day. They stole back form the Prince that which he had stolen from the farmers, through excessive taxation, and returned it to it's rightful owners.

If the story were acted out today, in it's literal accomplishments, Robin would be an anti-tax collector of sorts, retrieving our purloined monies from the IRS to restore to those who had it appropriated from them, which in today's America would mean 69.94% to the top 10% of income earners, 16.4% to the next 15% of income earners, 11% to the next 25% of income earners with the bottom 50% of income earners getting the 2.7% left. As that is today's income tax distribution.

We now live in a time where the Ruling party in Washington has governed for 953 days without the LEGALLY required budget. hence, with no spending plans or restraints upon them they have increased spending dramatically, But EVEN THEY, as corrupt and self centered as they are, could not approve Obama's budget proposal which further increased spending by $9.7 trillion dollars. While the President demand more tax revenue, neither he nor his party can tell you what they are going to do with it. WHY would we give them more of our hard earned money, for them to blow as they have the last three years?

The future success of our Nation directly correlates to our perception of stories like this. The more people see it as stealing from the thieving rich to give to the poor workers, the further we slouch towards Socialism. The more people see it for what it is, The workers RIGHT to own the fruits of their labors, the Freer our nation will become.
