“Instead of wrapping himself in President Roosevelt’s cloak, he should be wearing a little cap with a feather. This is Sherwood Forest. My colleague is Robin Hood. What he wants to do is steal from the rich and give to the poor,’’ he said.

I'm sick of people mischarachterizing Robin Hood all the time. The point that is so frequently missed, is that R.H. took back money robbed from the people, in the form of oppressive taxation, in the first place! In short, "the rich" weren't his targets, but rather the oppressive, corrupt government.
