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.
What say you?
