An Amusing Comparison
Here’s a British video showing actor Bill Nighy as a banker reduced to squirming when being questioned about the proposal for a Robin Hood Tax on bank transactions.
The British newspaper The Guardian writes about the campaign to introduce the tax and how bankster firm Goldman Sachs immediately tried to game an opinion poll on the matter at the tax proposal’s website.
Contrast this with video from Fox Business News where a couple of guys, one glabrous and one odious, castigate Barack Obama for wanting to rob from the banks to give to the poor.
You see, in the United States the good guys are the Sheriff of Nottingham and Guy of Gisborne. Everyone knows that.
And DD still can’t find a YouTube video of the Jack In the Box commercial, now playing all the time, portraying an employee who poses as Robin Hood as a laughable buffoon. Because he wants to take from the rich and has a fat ass in green tights.

2nd video is not accessible … unless you first accept that is a “private video” and you’d have to sign up for a frienship request of the sender of this video (on youtube) before watching it

Eh, it wasn’t back in February. Just ignore it. Time flies. I’ll summarize the gist of it. It’s Fox, so everyone’s lamenting how the rich bankers who wrecked the economy are being picked on. Typical Ayn Rand-ian stuff.
