I recall that when I was in eigth grade my Rebbi ( who was quite poor) told us how in the non-jewish worl RObin Hood is praised becuase He stole from the rich and gave to the poor”.
Yet in Yiddishkeit he would be called a “ganaf” simply put he stole and the poor people who wanted rich peoples money are called “jealous”.
in Yiddishkeit jealousy is not praised, to put it mildly.
Another thing I recall from history is that Benjamin Franklin stated “democracy will only work until poor people start realizing they can tax rich people to get their money.
