Social justice is an attribute of agency. It doesn't apply to the natural order.

I really hate this tortured libertarian stuff.

Distribution of wealth happens naturally in a robust economy.. fortunes are made and lost every day.

<You're right, people were coming to the booming America in the 1800s to become successful so that modern Democrats could take from them and give it to everyone else.>

That's sort of their point. Let it happen naturally.

What's "tortured" about it? Thxis area is for more serious discussion, not inflammatory opinions.

Socialism is/was supposed to create a classless society but its arguments at least since Marx and Lenin are all about class, capitalist v workers (plus a forgotten petite bourgeoisie). Only classes I see are the ruling class and the country class. This division offers no social justice.


Here’s why Republicans must resist tax increases: Increased tax revenue gives Obama and liberal Democrats more government money to grow their government class, the same class they hope will keep Republicans out of the White House for generations to come. If Republicans submit to Obama’s push for tax increases, and thus further feed the beast — that is, subsidize the growing government class — then they will be purchasing their own noose, paying for their own political destruction.

Recently at The American Spectator, I wrote about this new government class. It is being nurtured by the vision and policies and programs of President Obama and his fellow “progressives”/liberals. The current class — the one that re-elected Obama — is comprised of federal employees; of state, county, and municipal workers; of dues-payers in public-sector unions like SEIU and AFSCME; of the teachers’ class and its ringleaders at the NEA and AFT; of Americans collecting food stamps, welfare, and unemployment; of those looking to government for healthcare; and much more. Unbelievably, there is even the surreal spectacle of a rising group of easily agitated young women demanding that Uncle Sam (i.e., taxpayers) pay for their contraception and abortions.

This new breed of American constitutes a huge segment of the population (and voters) who are becoming not merely dependent upon government but dependent upon Democrats. The more dependent they become, the more their dependency redounds to the political enshrinement of liberal politicians.

Worse, this class of progressive citizens — basically, Democrat constituencies — is accelerating at breakneck speed. They were already clipping along under the last 100 years of progressivism/liberalism — a symptom of what Ronald Reagan called “creeping socialism.” Under Barack Obama, however, they are exploding. There are an unprecedented 48 million Americans on food stamps, up from 32 million at the start of Obama’s presidency. Welfare rolls are bursting. Real unemployment is 15% and rising, and will get far worse as Obamacare kicks in....
