[Goldstein1984]

Sent to the following elected officials on January 10, 2010:

President Barack Obama

Senator Bernie Sanders (with a post-script telling him he is my favorite)
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi

Dear Elected Representative;

On behalf of We the People of the United States, with a goal of promoting the general welfare, I’d like to propose some legislation: The Robin Hood Tax Bill.

This legislation would have two simple components:
1) An aggressive progressive income tax to stop the theft;
2) An aggressive inheritance tax to take back what has been stolen.

Please discuss this among yourselves.

Regards...

1. It is the right thing but I doubt even our Dem reps are interested

No way would Obama put his name on it

2. No, they prefer their Robin Hoodwink taxes. nt

3. K & R

Somehow I don't believe asking the crooks to tax themselves is going to work.

5. The proposal was really for Bernie Sanders

Copying the others was a mere courtesy.

7. :) Well Bernie is a good guy alright....

Its the crooks in office that wont let it get off the ground is what I am saying. :)

4. No, they prefer the status quo of Ronnie Hood taxation

where they steal from working people and give it all to the military.

6. K&R. A worthy idea.

8. I'd settle for a rollback of the Reagan tax cuts!
