I don't think there are any Robin Hood's in the EU. Judging by results the rich have got richer through financial manipulation, reducing protection for honestly produced goods both from within and outside the EU, privatising public sevices for profit, rendering unions impotent etc. The poor have got the "minimum wage", mobility, 24 hour working days, 7 day working weeks, debt and insecurity. “The EU works by taking money from the rich and giving to the poor.”
