“Amidst electioneering chatter about a ‘reverse Robin Hood’ who steals from the poor to give to the rich, it’s important to identify the real Reverse Robin Hood: Ben Bernanke and his Merry Band of Thieves, a.k.a. the Federal Reserve. It’s especially appropriate to reveal Ben as the real Reverse Robin Hood today, as the Chairman is as omnipresent in the media as Big Brother due to the Cargo-Cult confab in Jackson Hole, Wyoming. Please answer the following questions before launching a rousing defense of the All-Powerful Fed and its chairman.”
