Right, Robin was “Taxed Enough Already”

[BitWielder1]

Yep. Robin Hood was the first TEA party member.
The Left think they are being so good playing Robin Hood when they steal from (a.k.a tax) the rich and give to the poor.
When in fact the poor are no better off.
They are closer in action to the Sheriff of Nottingham who taxed everybody, especially the poor, presumably for the king.

Back then the “rich” were the “government”, and the corrupt church, who he also was supposed to have stolen from.

In reality Robin Hood “stole” what the government had taken from the peasants in confiscatory taxes and returned the money to them. The Zorro legend is exactly the same.
That truth cannot be repeated often enough.

Robert Hood, Earl of Loxley, was also by birth a man of privilege, showing that not all well-born are necessarily selfish, evil individuals ... Related legend also has him as a part of the group of noblemen who forced King John to sign the Magna Carta, which formed the foundation of further English common-law & our own Bill of Rights. (I’m sure in his day, he would have been against any form of “bow control” ;)
