The legendary Robin Hood stole from the rich to give to the poor. To man oppressed by the pressures of economic conditions, he was carefully a hero.
Looking at it from a moral perspective, the legend tells that a man stole from man else. Yes, it may have been the rich whom he stole from, but no matter how you want to look at it, he was a thief. To expound his behavior because he gave it to man else less fortunate is besides the fact.
Hood
Think about it. A man stole from the earnings of one class who earned it to give it away to someone else class. His actions may have been benevolent, but with man else's money that he had stolen.
Benevolence is honorable when a man decides to give it away from the compassion of his heart. The less-fortunate should be taken care of. And it is the duty of every man, rich or poor, to help man else in need.
There are those philanthropists who give hysterically. And there are abundance of rich citizen who cling tightly to their treasures. God will deal with them. Their soul needs some transforming. But it is not the right of someone else to judge someone else for what he or she has, and to commit a crime to take from their hardworking earnings, no matter what the intent. Each personel has the right to make as much as possible with their craft. That is as long as it is done through honest means.
The Robin Hood system has spread to the government. The government uses taxes to take from earning classes and redistribute the funds through communal programs to less fortunate ones. However, when they do it, they are not any distinct from Robin Hood who steals from one class to redistribute it to another. In this case, the rich are stealing it from a Middle Class to become the benevolent source to the poor. But forced benevolence is not honorable any more than stealing it from man to give to man else. This could be called the "Robin Hood Theory" of government.
No one would gripe over a small ration of their earnings going to taxes, possibly 10% or so to pay for infrastructure and to help citizen on their feet. But when 60% of our hard-earned earnings goes to these bureaucratic thieves to be used to pay for communal programs that buy their votes and acquire them power to withhold their careers, we have to recognize their corruption. Albany has its own share of high taxes and out of operate government who salivate over new programs. But if they don't get a reign on their spending, they're going to out-tax their citizens.
We need to recognize the immorality of Socialism the same way we look at the Robin Hood theory. And while Capitalism rightly merits the hard-working, we must also recognize the lack of benevolence on the part of the achieved. It's up to individuals to do what is right and consider their brothers in need. Or else we are going to get what we don't want. A forced benevolence by a greedy and corrupt government who want nothing more than an excuse to steal from us.
