Question

in farsi : "عیار" در انگلیسی چی میشه ؟(مثل یعقوب لیث صفاری)

Answer 1

The character you're referring to 'Robin Hood', a fictional British character.

  

We also have a number of Democrats who claim to favor the poor people and want to take from the rich to give to the poor.  They are also fictitious - if you take a good look, most of the are extremely rich themselves and don't really give to the poor (Al Gore gave $300 to charity one year - he's worth many MILLIONS of $$$).  The Clintons and Kennedys are extrememly rich.  So are the Republican politicians (but they don't claim to give to the poor).
