Robin Hood is a legendary heroic outlaw originally depicted in English folklore and subsequently featured in literature, theatre, and cinema. Traditionally depicted dressed in Lincoln green, he is said to have stolen from the rich to give to the poor. Politicians have created the new “Forgotten Man” by Amity Shlaes.
Part of the problem with the reverse Robin Hood model is the Federal Reserve itself. They helped punish the 99% with inflation due to excessive money printing. The share of total net worth held by the top 1% has exploded since The Fed’s rate cuts following the 2001 recession. The Fed has never lowered rates since to levels we saw prior to the 2001 recession, although The Fed is getting close.
Then we have the green energy hysteria (which like pornography excites the brain and distorts logical thinking). Wealthy donors have received a massive windfall (along with China) from Biden/Congress’s green energy spending (scam). The middle class and low-wage workers are now playing higher utility bills (sacrificial lambs on the altar of global warming … or cooling) along with seeing gasoline and diesel prices far higher than before Biden was elected. Gasoline prices are up 46.25% under Biden and diesel prices are up 55.6%.
Then we have the exploding mortgage rates under Biden. Rates are up over 155% under Old Grandad Joe Biden. Another shot through the heart of the middle class. And Washington DC is to blame.
Speaking of Washington DC millionaire elites, I want to share this picture with you. Hillary Clinton is NOT Robin Hood but an example of a REVERSE Robin Hood.

Never before in the annals of human history have so few stolen so much from so many.

Don’t know if the following is relevant but whose income taxes are financing our federal government?
The top 50% of returns pay 96.9% of income taxes.
The top 10% of returns pay 70.8% of income taxes.

If we ever encounter the food shortages as predicted, we had better rise up and give the “elites” so much more than we deserve. If we don’t, we aren’t worth saving. “So much more” means to make their deaths long and painful - accompanied by playing rap/hop-hop “music” to them at 120 dB.
Just put the Karens in a room with cigarette smoke pumped in—their howls of agony will be heard for miles.
Lol.
This problem is more threatening to the wealthy than most of them understand.
The middle class is a buffer between them and the ghetto.
Without a substantial middle class the wealthy are stuck in gated communities like a bird in a golden cage.
Just take a look at most American cities now and this point is painfully obvious.

Agreed. Just look at South Africa for a real world example.
Somehow under Trump, (the champion for the rich according to media). The gap between the poor, the middle class and the rich narrowed.
Under Brandon, the champion of the poor, the gap opened widely.
Just an accident?
You have to destroy the middle class before they will accept communism.

He steals from the poor and he gives to the rich.
Stupid bitch!
Dennis: What was that?
Singers: We sang: "He steals from the poor and he gives to the rich."
Dennis: Wait a tic...blimey, this redistribution of wealth is trickier than I thought.
Black Adder was brilliant.
Robin Hood didn’t steal from the rich to give to the poor. He “stole” tax dollars from the collectors and gave them back.
The book I read said that Robin Hood robbed the government, not the rich to give to the poor.
