Robin Hood giving to the rich

[Firestarter]

We have all heard of the legendary Robin Hood, who “stole from the rich to give to the poor”.
So in our Brave New World, the rich in 1988 founded the Robin Hood Foundation so they can continue robbing the poor, while claiming to end poverty...

Robin Hood has raised more than $3 billion in its existence.
None other than the controversial Harvey Weinstein was a co-founder, who was forced to resign from its board after some women complained that he sexually abused them.

On its boards serve a bunch of wonderful “philanthropists”, including:
Lloyd Blankfein (CEO Goldman Sachs)
Glenn Dubin
Laurence D. Fink (CEO BlackRock)

Lachlan Murdoch
Jes Staley
Jeff Zucker (CNN president): https://www.robinhood.org/about-us/g...nce/index.html

Besides the Robin Hood Foundation there is also the “Robin Hood Tax”, supposedly founded to push for a tax on corporations.

One of the largest donors to the “Robin Hood Tax” is the Open Society Foundation of none other than Trump/Kushner/Clinton funder George Soros (also a large donor to Tides).
From January 2009 to April 2014 the Open Society Foundation donated $50 million to the Robin Hood Tax.

Warren Buffett has tried to sell himself as a “tax reform hero” and pushed Robin Hood to the frontline as the “ultimate tax hero”.
In 2011, the Tides Foundation donated $537,673 to groups supporting the “Robin Hood Tax”: https://www.mrc.org/articles/robin-h...ides-and-media

The yearly gala of the Robin Hood Foundation is one of those events where the rich and famous want to be seen...
See for example New York Governor Andrew Cuomo, David Saltzman (Executive Director Robin Hood) and Oprah Winfrey at the Robin Hood Foundation's 2015 gala.


Earlier this year Robin Hood staged a gala to get us to donate, so they will “help” those poor New Yorkers, whose lives have been destroyed by the COVID-19 lockdown.

Robin Hood has been supported by corporate donors (that have profited from the coronavirus “pandemic”), including Barclays, BlackRock, Capital One, Goldman Sachs Gives, Bloomberg Philanthropies, and the Jane and Daniel Och Family Foundation.

Karlie Kloss, the sister-in-law of Ivanka’s husband Jared Kushner, was one of the celebrities at this gala: https://www.prnewswire.com/news-rele...301057130.html

In 2018, the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation donated $5 million to Robin Hood: https://www.gatesfoundation.org/How-.../05/OPP1194273


While the Robin Hood Foundation makes all sorts of wild claims about how incredibly successful its efforts are to end poverty in New York, it doesn’t provide any evidence for its impact (of course we can trust those wonderful billionaires, who keep getting richer, while the poor get poorer): https://blog.givewell.org/2009/12/08...lmost-nothing/

Where do they get off calling themselves 'Robin Hood'?
It's like antifa calling themselves anti-fascists.

[Krugminator2]

The poor have not gotten poorer in the United States. The lowest incomes are much better off. There is literally no data to suggest the poor have gotten poorer. None. The economists on the left pushing income inequality don't even say the poor are poorer. https://www.bloomberg.com/opinion/ar...-mostly-a-myth

"the wages of a typical worker have increased by 32% over the past three decades. That’s a significant increase in purchasing power.”

“Wages for the bottom 20% of workers grew by more than one-third.”

The Robin Hood foundation has nothing to do the the Robin Hood tax.

Paul Tudor Jones founded the Robin Hood Foundation. He is a hero. He didn't get rich through cronyism. He got rich through voluntary trade. Demonizing legitimate success has no place for a Ron Paul supporter. If he wants to raise a ton of money for things like charter schools, good for him.

The people who founded the Robin Hood Foundation are heroes who have made a lot of money through voluntary exchange and have chosen to give money away through voluntary exchange, instead of using government coercion.

Robin Hood didn't steal from the rich and give it to the poor. He stole from the government and gave it back to the people.

Yeah that may be true but has the cost of goods and services, including things like shrinkflation of food, stayed the same in that 30 years? No need to answer since we already know the answer to that question. A Big Mac sandwich is literally half the size today that it was 30 years ago and costs twice as much. How many more people are on welfare services now than 30 years ago? Quoting nominal wage increases is irrelevant if they're not real-world price inflation adjusted.

The article was about income inequality. Had nothing to do with the Robin Hood Foundation.

Actually we don't know. The overwhelming majority of food, cars, housing costs, utilities and consumer products that make up a person's standard of living have become much more affordable to the average person.

I have no effing idea what universe people are living in when they babble about high inflation and wages not keeping up. That is just wrong.

According to the Bureau of Economic Analysis, spending by households on many of modern life's "basics"—food at home, automobiles, clothing and footwear, household furnishings and equipment, and housing and utilities—fell from 53% of disposable income in 1950 to 44% in 1970 to 32% today.

https://www.wsj.com/articles/SB10001...49723138161566

The reality is contrary to all of the dooming on this site, inflation is much LOWER than the government statistics say. That is the consensus view of most free market economists. And that says nothing of all of the modern conveniences that actually subtract from GDP Google Maps that dramatically raise standards of living.

It is nonsensical to include the Robin Hood Tax in a post about the Robin Hood Foundation. They are completely unrelated.

That, of course, isn't what you said. And why should I or you care if the top 1% of wage earners has increased income at a faster rate the lowest income workers? The income someone else makes is not my concern and shouldn't be your concern either.

And the economists who make income inequality a big deal don't attribute to finance either, which is what you are doing with the Robin Hood stuff. From Comrade Piketty.

What explains the changes in top-earning occupations over the past four decades? Perhaps the most intriguing argument about the current state of income inequality in the English speaking economies that Thomas Piketty makes in his bestseller “Capital in the 21st Century” is this—“the vast majority (60 to 70 percent, depending on what definitions one chooses) of the top 0.1 percent of the income hierarchy in 2000-2010 consists of top managers.” He goes on to argue on page 302 of his book that the rise in labor income “primarily reflects the advent of ‘supermanagers,’ that is, top executives of large firms who have managed to obtain extremely high, historically unprecedented compensation packages for their labor.”

You literally said in your previous response

The then you go to spout (again) that the poor are getting poorer. No credible person across the political spectrum thinks that. The lowest quintile of income earners when you account for benefits provided by employers like health care add in government transfer payments and take into account what money actually buys, are significantly better off than they were 40 years ago.

And no. I don't care that the highest income earners are making more. Good for them. I am not a Communist. My worldview isn't rooted in jealously and hatred toward the most productive. A small number of people like Jeff Bezos and Steve Jobs and Charles Koch push the human race forward. They are underpaid relative to their value.

You repeatedly show to support BS propaganda that the economy in our Brave New World is supposedly a great example of "freedom" and "democrazy".

I have no idea what most of that means and what little I can understand doesn't represent my views at all.

I always laugh at Wall St officialdom being quoted to prove that Wall St officialdom is blameless but I'll bite any way.

Actually we don't know. The overwhelming majority of food, cars, housing costs, utilities and consumer products that make up a person's standard of living have become much more affordable to the average person.

That's a very generous way to phrase it since 72 and 84 month car loans were not the norm three decades ago, which cost people a lot more currency over the life of the loan. Paying much higher prices for much less food product, much of which is now soy filler instead of actual food and requires "chemical taste enhancements" in order to be edible, was not the norm three decades ago. 50 million people on food stamps was not the norm three decades ago. Federal housing subsidies, government backed mortgages/student loans etc was not the norm three decades ago. If we still used the same lighting technology as we did three decades ago, everyone's power bills would be $500 a month. Granted, for power, the nominal cost of a power bill may not have changed drastically but that is only because of changes in technology. It's pretty clear that the currency has lost a tremendous amount of purchasing power over that three decades, while wages haven't risen much. The only thing that they've managed to do is HIDE IT really well. These days, the poor are only backstopped by the rest of us through the expansion of socialism (see, for example: universal service fees on utilities, which charge us to subsidize others). Without that, it would be much, much worse and closer to reality. Never mind the huge expansion in credit card usage (and subsequent defaults) from three decades ago required to maintain the appearance of prosperity.

What you're really pointing to is the engineered appearance that wages and expenses have not relatively declined.

[Krugminator2]

I got the stats from reading Thomas Sowell and Don Boudreaux. Neither one has any connection to Wall Street that I know of.

Welfare transfer payments are more generous now. There is also an Earned Income Tax Credit. If you are talking about income for the lowest earners it makes no sense not to include those. It is money people are getting.

The lower costs are a result of technology getting cheaper. So what? That is part of person's standard of living.

If you take 14 items that make up a person's standard of living from a Sears catalog from 1973 and compare it 2013 prices, they are much more affordable to the median wage earner. It would take the median wage earner 575 hours in 1973 to buy a basket of items like a washing machine, TV, stove, rerfrigerator, freezer, dishwasher cost. That same basket would cost 170 hours of labor for the median earner in 2013

Now you quote AEI? Good lord man. Bloomberg, WSJ and AEI are your go-to sources for stats? CFR much, bro?

Practically every appliance you listed requires more service and more often replacement, also. Is anything AFTER the original purchase considered? Same with most every other example in your posts. What's the total cost of ownership of eating HFCS and soy frankenfood? The total-cost-of-ownership, not merely an initial purchase price (which much more often goes on credit instead of cash payment, compared to 1973....credit purchases were practically non-existent in 1973) is the correct measure. It may perhaps be somewhat inaccurate to say that the poor get poorer since they are heavily subsidized now but someone's gettin' poorer and it ain't the rich....

The video has multiple outright lies. And multiple distortions. The criticisms are so over the top and insane that it takes a special kind of stupid to find anything redeeming in that video.

Presumably the one thing that was factual was how much money he made. He has made a lot of money in fees. The video says $4 billion. He has returned investors 20% after fees with no losing years since 1983. How is that stealing from poor? Seriously. People voluntarily invest with him. He gets them double the returns of the market. And he gets paid for it. Yeah. He makes a lot of money doing that. And for some reason people not only want to give money to him, he has to turn money away despite those fees. Wonder why?

Videos like that are the worst kind of propaganda that hate the good for being good. Instead of celebrating achievement, it is an ugly, envious attempt to chop anyone down who rises above mediocrity.

Your first “lie” already fails miserably. You’re not really claiming that the Managed Funds Association isn’t lobbying for lower taxes, or associated with the Robin Hood Foundation, but instead you use a diversion strategy by (again) posting some BS irrelevant information.
From the link in post #18…

In a strange twist the “Robin Hood Foundation” has close ties to the Managed Funds Association (MFA) that lobbies for tax breaks for hedge fund managers. That’s the opposite of what the “Robin Hood Tax” supposedly lobbies for: https://hedgeclippers.org/hedgepaper...se-inequality/

the activities of the Managed Funds Association (MFA), a hedge fund industry lobbying group that is closely linked to the Robin Hood Foundation. Two of Paul Tudor Jones’ deputies oversee the MFA, and 31 Robin Hood leaders have ties to it through their hedge funds and financial firms.
(…)

• The hedge fund lobbying group Managed Funds Association has extremely close ties to the Robin Hood Foundation through Paul Tudor Jones and over 30 other Robin Hood leaders.
• Since 2007, MFA has led the fight against the hedge fund tax break known as the “carried interest tax loophole.” Closing the loophole at the federal level would have raised $17 billion per year.
• MFA increased its lobbying and overall spending by nearly five times between 2007, when Congress first began targeting the tax loophole, to 2013.
• Just five of the hedge fund managers serving on Robin Hood leadership boards made $3.8 billion in 2014.
• If this income were taxed at the same rate as ordinary income, they would owe an additional $745 million in taxes.

(…)

• Paul Tudor Jones’ top deputy, John Torell, chairs the MFA and has since 2013; he has served on the board for longer. Torell is managing director and CFO at Jones’ hedge fund Tudor Investment. [17]
• Tudor Investment is the only hedge fund with more than one representative on the MFA board. Christopher Greene, managing director and chief administrative officer at Tudor Investment, serves on the board alongside Torell.[18]
• 31 members of Robin Hood’s governing board and leadership committees are executives at firms that belong to the highest membership levels of the Managed Funds Association.

2. They say he destroys wetlands because he got fined. He has spent a zillion dollars protecting wetlands. The government fines people for everything. I strongly suspect he didn't do anything wrong.

Also your second “lie” fails miserably. What speaks against your “strongly suspect” in the first place is that you don’t provide any sort of evidence…

The evidence shows that Paul Tudor Jones pleaded guilty, this doesn’t support your silly claim that he “didn’t do anything wrong”.

In 1990, Jones pleaded guilty to illegally destroying 86 acres of protected wetlands on his Maryland Eastern Shore hunting estate with 1,400 cubic yards of gravel, without a permit.^[30] Jones was ordered to pay $1 million fine and $1 million in restitution to the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation and by pleading guilty avoided a possible one-year jail term for violating the Federal Clean Water Act.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_Tudor_Jones

As for the Everglades Foundation that was founded by Tudor Jones. This doesn’t look good…

Less than a year later, South Florida water managers are struggling to make the ambitious project a reality — while environmental groups have begun to raise concerns that the plan is based on flawed data and that it may become a Trojan horse used to challenge long-standing water quality standards for the fragile Everglades ecosystem.
(…)
“In fact after it passed, the state’s two powerful environmental groups that helped negotiate the bill — the Everglades Foundation and Florida Audubon — issued statements praising it. In December Audubon named Negron a Champion of the Everglades. Everglades Foundation CEO Eric Eikenberg said the law will “deliver what the Everglades needs.” But he also said getting more sugar land was a losing battle.

I guess that some donors to the Robin Hood Foundation might object to spending money like this (to fight against poverty in New York?)...

Executive Director of Robin Hood David Saltzman was paid an annual salary of some $600,000. When he retired at the end of 2017, he got another $1.7 million.

The most recent top executive listed is Reynold Levy, who eared almost $1 million from 2015 to 2017.
Total salaries for the Robin Hood Foundation were $18 million in 2017.

From 2006 to 2016, Robin Hood paid a six figure salary to its communications director Mark Bezos, brother of the so-called richest man in the world Jeff Bezos. Mark’s salary was around $140,000 in 2013 and 2014, and $240,000 for 2015 and 2016.

Ironically the corrupt Meiselas brothers are using some of the same tactics they have trashed Trump over.
