The Morality of a Robin Hood Tax

True, investors and large financial institutions often profit more than necessary to sustain their efforts. The "Robin Hood Tax" is an effort to skim 0.5% off of financial transactions for "social goods." If theft any effort through which a social good can flourish?  Despite the existance of poverty and famine, is there a moral high ground on which Robin Hood stood? The benefits of ill-gotten gains are no different than the spoils of war. There is no dignity in receiving those spoils.

Common Ground in Liberty

For the last few years, I've begun to believe that both liberals and conservatives can find common ground in the libertarian philosophy to reinforce their core beliefs. I've yet to meet anyone that can not find ground with the ideology, while most hold fast to their socially-prescribed labels. I'm no libertarian, though I also share many values and beliefs with the ideology. I find myself at odds most with Liberals, though I share more common ground with them than with conservatives. Perhaps I'm more of a left-libertarian that I assumed? I've never accepted social stereotypes or labels, so perhaps its more of a semantics issue that creates the separation from my peers? In any case, I have more love than spite for my brothers, if we could only focus on ideas rather than politics. We have more in common that you might think.
