==Liberal Attempts to Redefine the Term==
Liberals have attempted to redefine the terms "income redistribution" and "redistribution of wealth" to demonize [[free market]] [[capitalism]] and small government. They claim that [[trickle down economics]], deregulation, and tax cuts have redistributed income from the poor and middle class to the rich.<ref>Robinson, Eugene. "Have and Have-not Nation."

===Robin Hood Upside Down===
{{main|Robin Hood}}
In the original stories, the people of England suffered under the oppression of a high tax regime created by the King and enforced by the Sheriff. Robin Hood's unsanctioned tax cuts worked against this system. The new Robin Hood as a hero of redistributive purposes did not appear until the late 1700s, through the work of [[Joseph Ritson]]. This transformation is quite destructive of everything that Robin Hood fought for, considering that the King was imposing excessive taxes, and redistribution requires the same kind of high tax imposition.
