Dear Editor,
This topic is for people to think for themselves.
Social justice is a political and philosophical concept which holds that all people should have equal access to wealth (wealth redistribution, which is communism), health, wellbeing, justice and opportunity.
In political and social sciences, communism is the philosophical, social, political, and economic ideology and movement whose ultimate goal is the establishment of the communist society, which is a socioeconomic order structured upon the common ownership of the means of production and the absence of social classes, money and the state.
Communism includes a variety of schools of thought, which broadly include Marxism and anarchism, as well as the political ideologies grouped around both. The deception is the word equal access to wealth, you have to create wealth and that comes from individual responsibility. You cannot legislate wealth. Wellbeing is for the individual to perform to achieve his or her goal, it is the government task to provide opportunity for all.
Justice has to do with what is right and fair? It is not right to take from people who achieve more and give it to others who have achieved less. Is it right to take points away from A students and give it to D students to make it equal and so call fair? No, that is wrong.
Healthcare is a necessity but it comes with a price and a responsibility also. The best way to afford healthcare is to create wealth. That is why government has to be innovative to create opportunity for the masses to become more self-reliant. You cannot tax people to death and expect them to become more self-reliant.
Free market capitalism opens the door for people to do business and endeavor in business by entrepreneurship. To create wealth is to lower the taxes which creates more jobs in turn produce revenue so health care can become affordable. But social justice (equal access to wealth or wealth redistribution is in fact making every person equally poor. Feel free to disagree with me.
But notice, Hugo Chavez and Maduro try that in Venezuela, look at the end results, it leads to destruction.
You have never seen people from a capitalist country run to a socialist or communist country, it is always the other way around that because social justice equals communism.
Social justice has been practiced for the longest while with the deception for the common good of all. And the end result is always destruction.
The key to success is for government to provide equal opportunity but to be successful, that is the individual responsibility. Social justice tells people they are victims and that it is the other person’s fault they are poor. That ideology is a recipe for disaster. It creates hatred and jealousy and leads to anarchy.
No system is perfect, but free-market capitalism is the best, no wonder people from socialist and communist countries will walk 5,000 miles to come to a capitalist country.
