SuperPlatner

I mentioned over at Grim's that the Democrats seemed to be going for an outlaw image to fit their "take from the rich to give to the poor" model. I notice that Graham has already done the "take from the rich part," starting with his parents, but the "give to the poor" part was always rather theoretical and in the future. This is similar to the original Robin Hood, or one of them, who is not on record as giving to the poor, but was beloved because he refused to rob them. And at least he robbed the rich.

Which put me in mind of this, which might be a better fit.


 "Let's rob from the rich...and KEEP IT!"

A criminal enterprise tends to attract more criminals.

Actually, it’s a buck-and-a-quarter quarterstaff, but I’m not telling him that.

I think that Gunsmoke and Firefly have the measure of Robin Hood: He robbed from the rich because it was a higher payoff for the same risk, and if he gave to the poor it was for pragmatic reasons.

I've thought Jesse James was a close analog, probably famous and popular for similar reasons.
