There is nothing wrong with being rich if you are a creator/producer. In that happy case you CREATE wealth!

Political pull or government coercion that moves wealth around is morally wrong.

Robin Hood was an incipient supply sider, taking from the rich governing class and giving back the tax $ to the people!

The politicians of modern Nottingham would disagree with you. A couple of years ago the city council proposed removing Robin as the town's official symbol. Why? Because he was "anti-business" and "set a bad example" and might give the wrong idea to visitors.

I am not making this up. (The motion was in the end defeated, at least.)
