Robin Hood is Ba(ra)ck! *No more band-aid *
Is Barack Obama the Robin Hood of our times? Look at this man, stuck in a world of capitalists, but doing his best to get the wealth distributed. Sustainability is his mantra! Not because he is pitching for clean energy via wind turbines, solar panels only but also, for asking the corporate to be responsible towards the society and environment as well. Making them spend the dollars they have raked in over the last 100 years! His speech at the Jt. Session of Congress evoked a flurry of responses in all the news channels and business newspapers. All the capitalists of new India cloaked in the disguise of “entrepreneurs” crying foul! US capitalists dwarfed us Indians by getting their own Bobby in Washington DC to lead the clarion call within minutes of the president’s speech! Capitalists fear him and I too am fearful. There is a difference though. I am afraid that the one sensible guy whom we have found after almost a century to champion the cause of common man might be “silenced”! I wish and pray for the well being of Obama and his family. This article is an unconventional didactic exegesis! So, it’s going to be a long one. And also, let me warn you, if you are not an Obama fan, you might just want to drop off here or dig in and comment your rebuttal! “The fact is, our economy did not fall into decline overnight. Nor did all of our problems begin when the housing market collapsed or the stock market sank…we import more oil today than ever before…The cost of health care eats up more and more of our savings each year…and though all of these challenges went unsolved, we still managed to spend more money and pile up more debt… .We have lived through an era where too often short-term gains were prized over long-term prosperity, where we failed to look beyond the next payment, the next quarter, or the next election.” Continue<http://tickledbylife.com/index.php/robin-hood-is-barack/> http://tickledbylife.com/index.php/robin-hood-is-barack/ best regards *[email protected]* -- Who is Panna Lal? <http://tickledbylife.com/index.php/who-is-panna-lal/>
