Robin Hood, a folk hero and subject of countless movies and books, was famous not just for his skill with a bow, but for his generosity in stealing from the rich to give to the poor. In his case, the rich were peasents whose lived their lives basically at the whim of the rich, the aristocracy.

This is grevious inaccuracy, sure to be repeated countless time by liberals who don't bother to do their homework or think about what they say. The US government has been stealing from the rich for a long time. It's called income tax, basically the result of extortion. If you don't pay such and such amount, you either go to jail, or move to a different country. That's fine, I consider it a membership fee of sorts. What's not fine is that the "poor," low income bracket pays little or no taxes, yet constantly receives money taken from the rich in the form of welfare, tax credits, earned income credtis, etc. The big uproar is that these recent cuts directly benefit the rich, and leave out some lower income brackets.

I'm willing to bet that the people who benefit from this tax cut contribute 75% or more of the total amount of money collected on April 15 each year. Thanks to this cut, that percentage will probably change to like 73%. The much larger portion of the poulation that

Crap, gotta run, didn't even have time to finish, much less edit. I will later....
