In case you missed the news, President Obama is set to detail his new tax plan at tomorrow night’s State of the Union Address. And shockah of shockahs, his plan is all about tax increases.
Which apparently makes him like Robin Hood.

All you need to know is that this isn’t really about helping Americans at all. It’s about bleeding them dry and making himself look like a hero in the process.
But Robin Hood, he most definitely is not.

@PolitixGal If the historical accounts of Robin Hood are correct he stole from the government to give to the poor. Obama is prince John.

Apparently @thehill and the Left don't know the story of Robin Hood. He stole from the gov't and gave it to the overtaxed peeps.
