Good and evil are relative. In one person's point of view someone can be good and in another person's point of view someone can be bad. There isn't a universal philosophy that encompasses both good and bad. Considering everyone's has their own idea of it. To the authorities Robin Hood was robbing from he was considered a criminal but to the poor he was helping he was considered a hero. I consider Robin Hood an anti-hero because he isn't a stereotypical good guy nor is he a bad guy. He is using what some people would perceive as morally wrong to achieve a goal. Superman wouldn't steal to help someone Or he at least try his best not to.) because he is a typical good guy with mostly no flaws or bad temptations. Whereas Robin hood main reasoning is: "The means justifies the end" or "Whatever it takes" So that philosophy alone tells you he would do whatever(As long as whatever was in his moral boundaries) to achieve a goal.
So I would consider Robin Hood an anti-hero with alignment leaning towards good more so.
Stealing is wrong, no matter who you're stealing from.
He was just a good hearted thief.
They way I see it, no one should be labeled as a 'good guy' or a 'bad guy.'
Everyone has done both right and wrong in their lifetimes.

Technically the rich stole it first so in a way. Robin Hood was returning what was rightfully the poor people's money in the first place. I can understand why you feel that way.
