Why call a sales tax on financial products a Robin Hood Tax? If I cut myself and buy a bandaid, I have to pay a sales tax, why should it be different if someone buys a credit default swap? (And that analogy it seems to me should be the main message.) A Robin Hood Tax would be a really substantial progressive tax on the actual assets of the wealthy I think -- not a tiny sales tax on their casino dealings in which they are aiming to make more and more money. I don't think this is accurate, useful or good messaging frankly.
