Amen brother! take from the rich and give to the poor, the old Robin Hood syndrome!

And THAT is another misconception that most liberals share, Med.

Robinhood did not take from the "rich" in order to give to the "poor." Nope, he took from the King (The government) who was taxing the people so much that they were being driven into the poorhouse. Robinhood, before the history was revised, was a wealth redistributionist in reverse. He "taxed" the government treasury in order to return goods that were stolen from the people. Had Robinhood lived in this country he probably would have left his signiture on the Constitution right beside that of John Jay.

I'm pretty sure he stole from Barons and Dukes and the rich in general. And what is different about the Government stealing money from you or the corporations stealing in the form of under paying and skinflinting their employees. It's all the samo samo. The rich steal from the poor daily in the way the revenue is shared!
