Two are in the news today: "economic justice" and "social justice".
In the most basic sense, these phrases are meant to clothe the naked desire of a particular faction to have the state coerce goodies from the general population and gift it to them.
IOW: All they really want is the state to take away the fruits of someone else's labor and give it to them.
This has been an especially easy THEFT for government unions to accomplish because they have a virtual monopoly: in most states only NEA, AFSCME, and SEIU unions and affiliates can supply workers to the government enterprises (schools, civil bureaucracies, hospitals, etc).
And these monopolistic unions use both fists to get what they want from the politicians they control and the public they effectively hold captive: one fist is the threat of strikes against the public - a devastating threat on account of their monopoly; and the other is donations to the corrupt politicians they control and who for decades have given away OUR MONEY to their cronies to help THEMSELVES GET RE-ELECTED. (This is the corrupt "axis of taxes" - and this axis - this "complex" - is WORSE than the so-called "military industrial complex".)
Real justice would be if these government unions did NOT have a monopoly over the government.
Real justice would be if workers had the CHOICE to join or not.
Real justice would be for the workers to pay their own fair share of benefits - like the rest of us, and not get a free ride, not have the power to feast off the fruits of our labors.
Real justice is for last November's election results to be respected, and the policies of the majority to be implemented.
I HAVE A MESSAGE FOR THE UNIONS AT THE CENTER OF THE AXIS OF TAXES:
if you don;t like the results, then try to win the next election.
Otherwise: STFU.
And stop using propagandistic slogans like "economic justice" and "social justice".
Real justice is balanced, and what's happening in Wisconsin - and in other states all over the USA - is a re-balancing of our budgets, our taxes, and our largess. The benefits packages and monopolies that government unions have enjoyed for the last several decades are unjust, and unaffordable. And they are ending now. It's not just about time - IT'S LONG OVERDUE.
God Bless Governor Walker.
NOTE: from one of the above links:
'social justice’ is frequently just a euphemism for a socialist political agenda of leftist politics, redistribution of wealth, and heavy state controls over the marketplace.EXACTLY!
