Robin Hood took from the rich and gave to the poor. No doubt, that's what millions of Americans thought that is what then-candidate Obama meant when he told Joe "the plumber" that he wanted to "spread the wealth around."

After all, Obama needs to pay for his increasing the subsidy for the Chevy Volt from $7,500 to $10,000 per vehicle -- for a car whose average buyer has an annual income of $170,000. Now that's income redistribution!And so the Sheriff of Nottingham - taking from the poorer to give to the richer.
