Senator Barack Obama's Robin Hood Plan?

Most people are protective of their money. And that's their right. Whether they work hard for it, inherit it, or win it, it's theirs.

And when Senator Barack Obama recently stated that he has a plan that roughly states that, if you belong to a certain income bracket, some of what you earn could go to those less fortunate.

Say your annual earnings amount to two hundred thousand dollars or more, through the IRS system you would be taxed more so some of your income would go to the poor.

During a recent discussion about this matter with a few friends, it was noted that members of the country's Middle Class have been giving to the rich for a number of years.

And granted, as humans we need to meet certain conditions if we want to live a comfortable life. We need: food, adequate shelter, clothes, transportation, entertainment.

In doing so, who owns or runs such enterprises? The rich. Right? So if Senator Barack Obama becomes President and his plan passes, will he be, in a way, turning it around on the wealthy?

Will the not so wealthy who have been giving to the wealthy for so long now have their turn in the sun?

Or will this be an extension of the Robin Hood plan?
