Rudd is planning a "Robin Hood" budget for later this year, stealing from the wealthy (savers) to pay for the poor (debtors). I always thought that Robin Hood stole from the state (the kings, royals and their friends) and gave back to the people? This is equivilant to the king stealing from his people then handing (some of) them back a small amount and asking them to say thanks! It's just another step towards a larger government, creating disincentives to work and save along with wealth destruction and moving us ever closer to serfdom. How much longer can this nanny state continue? Not only have they already horse drawn and quartered capitalism in this crisis (capitalism was NOT the cause!) but it's almost as if they're deliberatly getting every policy response wrong.

Our leaders wouldn't have anything to gain from socialism, would they? Great.
