Robin Hood budget

Robin Hood budget
 n.— «Now the government is talking about raising taxes for some to help pay for pension increases, but at this point at least they’re only talking about slugging higher income earners. (They’re dubbing it a “Robin Hood Budget,” just like they did last year.) But is it really fair to always slug high earners while the rest of us line up with our hands out?» —“Budget 09’s billion-dollar tax cuts: let’s return to sender” by Lincoln Archer News.com.au: Budget Buster Blog (Australia) APr. 29, 2009.
