RC>>>> Should the Govt play Robin Hood?

 RC>>>> If so why?

 Century ones? The 14 century ones? Maybe go back to the 11th
 century ones?

 EH> His victims weren't
 EH> "dishonest and dishonorable" as some idiots claim. The

 His victims tended to be the nobility. That was the definition
 of dishonest and dishonorable.

 EH> story of his exploits became romanticized over the
 EH> centuries into what we have seen in the movies and fits in
 EH> with the idea if the idiot class that the rich are by
 EH> definition evil and any attempt by the government to tax
 EH> the rich to death is honorable.
