The Robin Hood Story Corrected

The Robin Hood story, as usually told, is completely and utterly wrong. The saying is "Robin hood steals from the rich and gives to the poor." Let's play Overcoming Bias' "taboo your words" game.

Robin Hood steals from the people who are productive and gives to people who are not productive. This is Robin Hood as the evil State. Of course, this is not what the Robin Hood myth really means.

Robin Hood steals from people who use State violence to acquire wealth and gives to people who are victims of State violence. *THIS* is what Robin Hood actually did. Robin Hood *NEVER* stole from someone who acquired their wealth honestly. Robin Hood *ONLY* steals from rich people who acquired their wealth immorally via State violence.

In the present, 99%+ of the wealthy people acquired their wealth through State violence. The Robin Hood story is misrepresented *ON PURPOSE* so that people will confuse "stealing from the rich is acceptable" with "stealing from people via taxes is acceptable".
