Well, Robin Hood stole from the Church, besides stealing from wealthy people, and ( only in much later versions ) from the government ... in the form of the sherrif of Nottingham. The Church didn't steal from the people ; so that is theft. The wealthy didn't steal from the people; do that too is theft. The supposed taking the tax monies and then dispersal to the " people " would be recieving of " stolen goods " ( in legalistic terms ) , and STILL a crome.
Since the Robin Hood legend is based on at least three different thieves, who were just common criminals, and did NOT give anything to the " common man "; but, rather kept the money ... it's a spurious supposition to imply that it is okay. The later versions , which have been cleaned up, Hollywoodidized , and completely turned on its head are akin to the legend of Bonnie & Clyde's stealing from banks and giving that money ( other people's money ! ) to those who hide them, when they were on the lam. There is NO difference in that, than the government taking money ( taxes ) from those who earn it, and giving it to those who don't work !
That blows your theories to smitherines, dear. Somehow, facts and truth always seem to do that . : - )

Naw I'm not too kind. Just more of a realist than an idealist.

I wish I could have been this provocative at 26 and after 13 beers. Or even now and sober.
