millerx Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 (edited) In today's times, what would Robin Hood be considered? Stealing from the rich to give to the poor. Would you consider him more republican or democrat? Just curious on how others would view this type of action. Does it matter who he was stealing the money from? My understanding was that the rich WAS the gov't. in that story. So which is it? Sorry, not much going on at work today, so obviously I have too much time on my hands...

Duchess Jack Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 Not sure, Robinhood had far less administrative costs and wasn't looking for folk to fund his next election. Whoever he'd be - Robin Hood would be on a terrorist watch list no doubt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Double Agent Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 todays poor have a chance to become rich. they just lazy and want robin hood to do all the work for them. I used to feel sorry for the poor and then I saw "Pursuit of Happyness." It's actually easy for a poor man to get rich if he'll just watch this movie.

SuperCharger Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 Robin Hood was a domestic terrorist which makes him a Democrat today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riffraff Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 (edited) todays poor have a chance to become rich. Good odds to become rich in our society. Bad odds to become wealthy though. Rich = one quick hit, 15 minutes of fame, or the long haul savings plan. Wealthy = generations of family members prospering. To use an old analogy: The average NFL player is rich. The guy who signs his paycheck is wealthy. The poor in our society are filthy rich compared to the poor in other countries.

millerx Posted October 14, 2008 Author Share Posted October 14, 2008 A finalist on Dancing with the Stars So...your saying indirectly that, like others in society today who like to redistribute wealth, he would become a pseudo-celebrity...interesting take.
