Whoa I have been lazy for a while but,
Here is a thought. Robin Hood claims to rob the rich to give to the poor. Sure some rich people are evil but most worked hard for their wealth. Being poor does not give special moral authority to ensure others don't enjoy the fruits of their labour. What if the rich decide that working hard isnot worth it any more? Who will there to be robbed?
But Robin Hood is an interesting story in that is illustrate what can go wrong with socialist scheme. Robin Hood is not so much an endorsement of progressive taxation as much as it is a condemnation of government taxation. Many times he robbed the tax money.
WHile many socialist governments claim they are 'Robin Hoods' they are actually the 'Sheriff of Nottingham' with all the heavy taxation. If not for the taxation people won't be poor.
