Proposal: The Robin Hood Tax Bill |
|
Sent to the following elected officials on January 10, 2010:
President Barack Obama Senator Mark Begich Senator Lisa Murkowski Congressman Don Young Senator Bernie Sanders (with a post-script telling him he is my favorite) House Speaker Nancy Pelosi House Progressive Caucus
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

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.

4. No, they prefer the status quo of Ronnie Hood taxation |
|
where they steal from working people and give it all to the military.
