Bush = Reverse-Robin-Hood about to take your money and give it to the rich

[FormerRepublican]

I got this email from Move On:

"Dear MoveOn member,
As soon as the Senate returns to Washington in September, they'll be voting on the permanent elimination of the Estate Tax for the richest 2 percent of Americans.1 Our federal deficit already exceeds $400 billion,2 if the Estate Tax is repealed millionaires will save another $1 trillion dollars in the first ten years and that tax burden will shift to ordinary Americans and future generations.3 The vote will be really close, Republican leaders are just one or two votes away.

Responsible Democratic senators have been able to hold the line on the Estate Tax for some time, but now a few Democrats are starting to waver. They continue to feel heat from President Bush and the tax-cut lobby, but they haven't heard from you. That's why we're launching an emergency petition to let the Senate know that we're paying attention and are ready to hold them accountable. If we can gather 200,000 signatures by next week, we will deliver them to senators in key states.

Will you sign our petition before the Senate vote?

Eliminating the Estate Tax amounts to an assault on middle class America. Losing over $1 trillion in tax revenue at a time when the federal deficit already exceeds $400 billion is a big deal—it is money that we're currently investing in education, tuition assistance, Social Security, Medicaid and so many other critical programs. Simply put, eliminating the Estate Tax forces working Americans and our children to pick up a trillion dollar tab that used to be paid by the wealthy. President Bush and his allies in Congress are telling us it is more important for them to protect Paris Hilton's inheritance than to protect us."

More Bush transfer of wealth from you to the rich. Robin Hood would roll in his grave.

3. The real guy who stole from the poor to give to the rich

We shouldn't be saying "Reverse Robin Hood."
What we should say when we talk about Bush is Prince John, who usurped the throne in "Robin Hood" and then proceeded to rob the poor to give to the rich. The Sheriff of Nottingham was his enforcer; this, my DU friends, is Karl Rove.

Bush's is Prince John.

He stole from the poor
He gave to the rich
