Robin Hood as Seen Through the Eyes of Democrats, Libertarians and Republicans

[phantom power]

3. Ayn Rand (libertarian) considered Robin Hood one of the greatest villains ever.

Mostly on the grounds that stealing from the rich and giving to the poor implied the poor weren't earning it, although her entire premise required her to ignore the fact that King John acquired his wealth through predatory taxation on what the poor were earning.

Frankly, I've always thought the Robin Hood should be a modern conservative hero, since his whole gig was subverting unfair taxation and returning it to the people. Of course, the modern conservative movement is in truth led by people who are very similar to King John, even though they all advertise themselves as hardworking peasants.
