Robin Hood need not apply....
A lot of people blithely cite Robin Hood, without thinking through what Robin Hood actually did.
I know, no one's really sure if he even existed. But the legends are fun to read and study, anyway.
Someone writing a movie came up with the shortie, "He robbed from the rich and gave to the poor" to try to explain what RH did. But it is pretty wide of the mark.
Who, exactly, did Robin Hood "steal" from?
Government tax collectors and treasury agents!
And who did he give the money to?
Farmers, cobblers, cabinet makers, seamstresses, housewives, blacksmiths etc. Most of whom were poor. In other words, he gave the money back to the people the government agents had taken it from in the first place, who were suffering in poverty after the government has raided their pocketbooks.
Robin Hood was a
conservative.
