OT Robin Hood--I think it would have been better to teach to the rich to share with the poor instead of robbing them.

I think you've hit one of the fundamental pillars supporting the disagreement between the Left and the Right. The idea that those who have won life's lottery have somehow robbed those who haven't seems to be the justification for much of the redistribution efforts of our society. Taking this further, the more one has earned, the more evil they must have behaved; hence, the crusade to cut Gates, and Microsoft down to size is believed by many to be the correct course of action. We see their posts on this thread daily.

Cheerios, PW.

That was a feudal society. In a capitalistic society the "rich" do share with the poor. Who do you think forms and funds companies which provide jobs and benefits for everyone else?
