If nothing else, stealing from the rich circulates money and helps the economy. The Egyptians would have fallen long before they did had theives not plundered the tombs to circulate the money.

Money is funny stuff. It is actually completely useless. Very few people actually want money.

It most certainly does not. Very few people want money. They want the stuff they can buy with money. This is why people are more than happy to take your money. The more stuff that can be bought with money, the more people want money, which creates a booming economy.

If everyone wanted to keep their money rather than spend it, then you wouldn't be able to buy much of anything with money, and so there would effectively be no economy.
