The real tragedy is that we conservatives haven’t taken it back. Robin Hood truly illustrates conservative principles and principles of our founding fathers. Robin Hood fought against the forces of a too-powerful, unaccountable government with an insatiable appetite for the property of its citizens. The stupid and thuggish King John and his cohorts loved flaunting their take, by doing things like taking Air Force One to NYC for an evening getaway, or using the stolen treasure to buy signs informing the citizens that their stolen treasure was used to buy said signs, or ramming trillion dollar spending bills through congress before anyone had a chance to even read them…er, wait a minute, even King John wasn’t as nuts as that.

They are ok with that.

After all, they will be the aristocrats who live like emperors as they rule us.

Even the Dark Ages were GREAT for the ruling aristocracy. Absolute control of 99.9% of something, no matter how diminished in comparison to what it might have been, makes you feel pretty good.

“There are those who still think they are holding the pass against a revolution that may be coming up the road. But they are gazing in the wrong direction. The revolution is behind them. It went by in the Night of Depression, singing songs to freedom.”

“Garrett wrote of a revolution within the form. While outwardly America appeared the same, a revolution within had taken place that was now irreversible.”

Reich and the other delusional fools support a political religion that will kill initiative. To have to pay for their madness is bad enough, but they will destroy the very structure required to bring prosperity to a majority of our people.

If we plan on avoiding Orwell’s boot on our neck–forever, we better get busy.

It seems to me I must have “misremembered” the story of Robin Hood. According to my recollection, Robin Hood stole from the rich, illegitimate king who, thorough his henchman, the Sheriff of Rottingham, took money from the hard working people of Sherwood Forest through a process called TAXES to enrich himself. If this tax really where a case of Robin Hood economics, wouldn’t we only tax politicians? But why let the truth stand in the way of good propaganda?

Will it harm those who might otherwise be employed by those small businesses? Yes.

Will it harm kids looking for a first job? Yes.

Will it drive more people to believe the Government is their only savior? Definitely yes.

And that’s the whole point.

The more Americans who become dependent upon Government, the more power Government has.

As has been stated before, health care will make Social Security look like an accounting error.

Social Security may be the “third rail” but Government health care will be the 10,000 volt electric fence bordering the tracks.

“But there’s no reason to suppose that taking a tiny sliver of the incomes of the top 1 percent will reduce all that much of their ardor to invest, innovate and hire in the future.”

Oh! And have you asked them? How many “slivers” will be enough for you Socialists to take?

“Don’t believe critics who say the surtax will harm small business.”

Oh! So you asked them, too? Be honest. Just say, “Don’t believe the critics.” Period. That’s what you want to say, so say it! “Don’t believe anybody who debates against our thinking .”

These people are morally and intellectually bankrupt!
