		<description>Book,

The hyperllinks to the articles in the first paragraph are apparantly broken.  I was about to send this on and checked them and got a page not availble error.

		<description>King John levied taxes while Richard the Lionhearted was away on the Crusades. Suffice it to say that, regardless of history&#039;s views on King John or whether his policies resulted in increased taxation or not, King John was a disaster for the people of England.

England tends to have a lot of this legends and myths, like Arthur and Robin Hood, derived or based off of their history. The lasting appeal of such things tend to be very high given that Anglo literature repeats the themes over and over again.

&lt;B&gt;I suppose the point stands if viewed from their paradigm that it is the rich who are the evil oppressors and thus equating themselves with the valiant Robin Hood “defending” the poor as it were by redistributing the wealth.&lt;/b&gt;

George Soros and all the rich Democrats like Teresa Heinz and what not surely can be called evil oppressors. They just happen to be the ones funding the Democrat party, however, so the Democrats don&#039;t target &lt;B&gt;those&lt;/b&gt; rich people.

&lt;B&gt;powers the machine first then “trickles down” the little byproduct that remains. Not so good of a return on the dollar.&lt;/b&gt;

Demoncrats love the trickle down economy. Don&#039;t let their lies and declamations fool you when they talk about how the &quot;trickle down&quot; economy doesn&#039;t work. It works great for them.</description>

		<description>Danny,

It appears that I need to fact check myself and not rely on the byte of a memory that I have.  I was going on the memory that he &quot;stole from the rich and gave to the poor&quot; not recalling who the rich were.  I suppose the point stands if viewed from their paradigm that it is the rich who are the evil oppressors and thus equating themselves with the valiant Robin Hood &quot;defending&quot; the poor as it were by redistributing the wealth.   Since they can rewrite history why not folk tales.  I have heard John Kerry, and Obama decry the tax system as unfair because as rich people they do not pay enough taxes.  It easy to pay more taxes than what the law calls for, take less deductions!  How about taking only the standard deductions and tossing the schedule A?   They be should be throwing their money into the coffers of the IRS to set the supreme example of what should be done to fix our Nation.  I guess it turns out that their money is not worthy of the nobility of the IRS.  
The Demo&#039;s like to refer to our taxes spent as &quot;investments&quot;.  When my church  gives to One Great Hour of Sharing (http://www.pcusa.org/OGHS) about 95% of a dollar given directly aids individuals.  When the Demo&#039;s &quot;invest&quot; our dollars through the government machine most of that &quot;green power&quot; powers the machine first then &quot;trickles down&quot; the little byproduct that remains.  Not so good of a return on the dollar.  I suppose what&#039;s really important is that they feel better about themsleves.</description>

		<description>At a time when I was without health insurance, I developed a tumor the size of a grapefruit on my back. I went to a hospital founded by Jewish philanthropists for assistance. The hospital provided facilities for free, and the surgeon charged me only $1000- probably $1500 in today&#039;s dollars. The tumor turned out to be benign. So, when you hear about the sad state of people without health insurance, consider my tale. ( BTW, I am Gentile.)</description>

		<description>Er, MacG, I was with you until the Robin Hood analogy. Robin Hood &quot;stole&#039; from Government (King John) and the Church to return the wealth to the poor. What I can&#039;t figure out is if the Democrats are more like the King, the Church, or both (Executive and Legislative).</description>

		<description>&quot;As always, what amazes me about the Left is it’s never ending optimism about the government&quot;
I have marveled at the same point.  These very same people that seethe at the likes of big corporations, swoon at the valor of the Big Government.  What they never seem to make out is that they both are comprised of people in love with money.  One wants to make it and the other wants to take it.  I have long believed that the Democrats ought to abandon their beloved jackass mascot and rebrand with the loveable Robin Hood of the Sure Weird forest.  Their merry band&#039;s theme song could be napstered from Monty Pyton &quot;Brave, Brave Sir Robin ran away.&quot;  with apologies to the Monty P crew.  But I digress...It really seems that they believe that they are the only ones that are pure of heart and will convert those sinful profits into works of righteousness for the &quot;little guy&quot; er, uh &quot;Sorry Honey, I meant socio-economically challenged and Corporately oppressed persun&quot;.   All the while taking credit for &quot;giving&quot; what was not theirs to give.  I just had a vision of the White Witch in the Chronices of Narnia giving Edmund the Turkish Delight and inscripting him into her service.  Hmmm...</description>

		<description>Most people are exactly as you have described, Deana: people who follow the path of least resistance. They, however, don&#039;t tend to be the leaders and policy setters.</description>
