Ned Kelly started the "Kelly Gang" because he felt that the poor needed something more. So, Ned stole from the rich and gave to the poor, acting like a transition program. He stole no money from himself. After years of stealing, there was one big war. His two mates shot each other to escape the world, and Ned himself was shot twenty-six times all over despite his "armor". Few years after, Ned's crimes caught up to him and he was hung.
The above is a completely contrived answer, with absolutely no truth.
To begin with, Ned Kelly did not steal from the rich and give to the poor. He stole from whomever he wanted, and kept it all for himself, apart from giving some to his own immediate family. There was no war. His mates did not shoot each other.
Ned Kelly did have a "beef" against the law, and this is why he started bushranging, and recruited family and friends as his gang. The story goes that Ned Kelly was influenced to become a bushranger. His family was not particularly liked by the law, and so when he was persecuted by a few of the policemen, he reacted and decided to become an outlaw. He figured that if he was going to be charged for something, he would give them a real reason.
Kelly became a protege to another bushranger, Harry Power who was a notorious bushranger of Victoria, originally transported to Van Diemen's Land in 1841 for stealing shoes. Upon his release, he continued his life of crime, which landed him in Pentridge Gaol. He became a bushranger when he escaped from Pentridge in 1869. At first he worked solo, but decided after while that he would like an accomplice. A friend of his named Jack Lloyd had a nephew, Ned Kelly, just 15 years old and already embittered by frequent run-ins with the police. Lloyd recommended the young Ned Kelly to Harry Power. Power became a mentor to Ned Kelly, taking him on as an apprenctice in 1870, and teaching him the finer points of bushranging.
Ned Kelly gradually progressed to crimes of increasing seriousness and violence, including bank robbery and murder, soon becoming a hunted man.
Kelly was twelve when his father died, and he was subsequently required to leave school to take on the new position as head of the family. Shortly after this, the Kellys moved to Glenrowan. As a teenager, Ned became involved in petty crimes, regularly targetting the wealthy landowners.

Ned father Red, was hounded to his death and Ned's mother Ellen, was arrested and locked up with babe in arms after trying to defend Ned's sister Kate from the unwanted advances of Constable Lonigan, a known liar and thief.

Ned Kelly was a bushranger, an outlaw, and often such criminals were supported by friends and family. Ned Kelly had several run-ins with the law, and his family often felt that they were persecuted by the police. This was a common problem among Irish immigrants and ex-convicts. The Kelly gang was formed in response to the bad treatment the Kellys felt they received, and they felt they had nothing to lose by turning to crime.
For starters, Ned Kelly stole cattle numerous times, and then went to jail a few times. Then a Constable (policeman) came into the Kelly's house and told Dan Kelly (Ned's younger brother) that he was under arrest for cattle stealing. Dan went into another room to get his coat and then the Constable assaulted Ned's sister Kate by grabbing her. Ned came in and jumped on him. A few weeks later, Ned and his newly found gang went to a police camp and Ned shot three policemen. After that he and his gang were declared as outlaws.
