Where's the Sheriff of Nottingham when you need him? President "Robin Hood" Obama is about to initiate a new budget plan that will take from the "rich" to give to the poor.

Now, don't get us wrong. We are big believers in offering a hand up to someone who's down. But that's a hand UP, not a handout, which is what this latest spending spree will offer.

The Obama budget has the words "A New Era of Responsibility" stamped on every page. But the only ones being asked to be responsible are you and me … not the folks who bought things they couldn't afford and certainly not the government.

What kind of responsibility is Obama showing by telling us all we have to sacrifice while he continues to push for spending on campaign promises as the recession deepens?

Obama's talking health care funding, more education spending, a new electric grid, students loans for all … and on and on the wish list goes.

Unfortunately, the bill for all of this - plus the trillion dollars already manufactured from thin air and spent on TARP, TALF and who knows what else - will be dumped on a mere 20 percent of taxpayers.

Do you see the ridiculousness of this plan?

20 percent will pay while the other 80 percent go shopping. Never mind that this "lucky" 20 percent already pay 85 percent of all the taxes collected.

Has anyone asked at what point the 20 percent either go broke or stop working to fall off the tax train and into the gravy?

Memo to the brain-dead Washington bureaucrats: if you ever hope to stop the increasing unemployment numbers (now at 5.1 million and rising), you can't kill the creators of jobs with more taxes.

But that's exactly what's happening with the new spending bill.

And here's a memo for the shortsighted Americans who are sitting there thinking that they won't be hit with higher taxes: You want to believe that you don't have a dog in this fight, but you will - and sooner than you realize. 20 percent of the population can't begin to make a dent in this debt. So, the next to fall will be the 33 percent tax bracket and, when that doesn't produce enough green, the 28 percent bracket will also get hit.

And while we're on the subject … if couples earning over $250,000 will be paying higher taxes, why do single filers get to earn $200,000 before higher taxes kick in? Divorce anyone?

We suggest that if President Obama wants to preach about shared sacrifice then he should show a little skin in the game, too.

The time has come to wake up, pay attention and stand up for your rights before you have no rights left! In fact, we are currently looking into a way to help you do just that. One of our radio show listeners had the wonderful idea of starting a petition to send to Washington. We think it's time our voices were heard and this madness was ended! We'll keep you posted on the petition so you can join in, too.
