In Which Wall Street Meets Sherwood Forest 1
The corrupt moneychangers feared the wilds of Sherwood Forest and the men in tights of Lincoln Green.
Because Robin Hood was waiting.
Nurses, healthcare and community activists were in the hallways ready to send him and the rest of his Wall Street gang a message: it’s time to pay up for the damage you have done to our communities and our nation.
This week, the Robin Hood campaign, which has exploded across the world, took a major step forward in the US with a stepped-up campaign that included visits by Robin Hood and his merry men and women to JP Morgan branches across the country, and scores of other actions.

Never gonna happen. The British think the Robin Hood tax is a good idea. The high point of Kevin Costner’s movie career was his Robin Hood role. That was a long time ago. Since then the majority in this country have been propagandized into a state of mind where they can only get behind the Dukes of Nottingham and the Sir Guys. People have been know to redistribute wealth, well — that makes you a communist, socialist America-hater. Won’t change in our lifetime. Obama could have chosen to aggressively prosecute the banksters, just as was done after Enron. He did not. That would have signaled a change. People lost faith, realizing there was no value being seen as a Robin Hood or even supporting the idea of it. The Tea Party made politicians. OWS has yet to do anything like that.
