This is a most interesting tale. It can be interpreted in different ways. But...

What entity did Robbin Hood "Steal from"? The King, the Government, The true capitalists that were in charge of taxing.

What and who were the poor? Overtaxed peasants, serfs ,lowly people, workers, people kept in bondage to pay homage to the wealthy. The King.

You guy's are too fuuny. I hope you start to get it.

So....Robin Hood was a socialist?

Jesus and his followers lived a COMMUNAL lifestyle, true, but it was BY CHOICE, and not forced upon them, and it wasn't forced upon OTHERS either. Our own system of government has socialist elements, but it is not true socialism.

ahem...

ahem-hem...

OMG THEY'D HAVE TO GIVE IT BACK TO THE KING ANYWAY!!!

In August 2007 my IRA began a freefall, eventually losing more than half of its value. Today it is a mere 25K short of what it was then. So you tell me, who were the Robbing Hoods?

I don’t mean to pour salt into an open wound I’ve just read that the bonuses amount that Wall Street and bank managers will receive for 2010 will be $144 BILLIONS.

Wall Street?

You bet Wall Street.....

They were shorting the market the whole time they were selling stocks and bundled mortgages...

They really should go to jail for fraud......

Geeze Jimmy, I feel bad for you. The only thing that is worse is trusting in professional money managers in a socialistic we will take care of it atmosphere.

Even in getting some of that back they have made some poor choices with your money. Most of the big honest dividend paying companies are 2 and 3 three times over were they were in 07.

You can't trust anyone, when you are getting hurt going down, and then when you are supposed to be going up. You got whacked TWICE. I would be glad to help, but I doubt you want any from me. Good luck man.
