Social Justice 101

Here is another from anonymous CJ. I have no comment other than to say "Amen".

Social Justice I

A day or so ago, Obama told us explicitly what has been obvious all along.  He believes that the main purpose of government is to enforce social justice.  Kindly recall that in his view individual accomplishment in our country is the direct result of government support.  In simple terms, individuals like Steve Jobs, Sam Walton et al created substantial new business enterprises and became wealthy because of the federal government.  A direct corollary of that principle is that those individuals who profited from the government support should now share their wealth by paying higher taxes.  The second corollary is that the government will decide how to distribute that wealth.  This is a socialistic view of government’s purpose.

Suffice to say that Obama is not the first political leader to hold this view and will not be the last.  The history of the world is littered with countries who adopted that policy and failed.  Western Europe has several at this moment that are crumbling.

Also, kindly recall that the founding principle of our country which has provided its route to greatness is equality of opportunity.  Obama wants equality of outcomes administered by a federal bureaucracy.  The coming national elections will determine the future of our country. The contrast between the views of Obama and Gov. Romney is stark, and the choice is very clear.
