One of the major gaps in Ayn Rand. The "rich" who Robin Hood stole from were representatives of the King and Church -- tax collectors, often. The "poor" Robin returned the money too, were generally the people who had earned it -- and weren't always all that poor.

May be true, but the myth is what she is talking about. (Given that Robin Hood is largely a myth anyway). The myth lives today and is at the core of the RAT party.
