Class Envy is not just the politician's tool. It is the trial lawyer's Cornucopia. The rich and powerful are the deep-pockets, manufacturing companies, insurance companies, and medical professionals. Trial lawyers are the modern day Robin Hoods who will fight for anyone who has a grievance against the deep pockets. However, unlike in the the original Sherwood Forest, the Sheriff of Nottingham is Robin Hood's ally because the courts today are in favor of transferring wealth in the form of multi-million dollar awards against the deep pockets. Hopefully, some of it will trickle down to the aggrieved parties while the Robin Hood lawyers get the lion's share.
Meanwhile, because the deep pockets are so scared of the trial lawyers, our health care insurance premiums go up and the quality of health care is drastically reduced. I had to postpone much-needed care for next year because this year's insurance allotment has already been met. I was denied much-needed service because some professional considered me a "high risk" patient. I've lost something here. I should cry out. "I've been robbed!!!" Should I ask for Robin Hood's help?
