Social Justice is Wealth

Who would ever want to play the game
if the rules always change at the discretion of an
umpire?
In reality, the cry for “social
justice” is a call for the State to do something to fix economic and relational
inequities without any regard to a universal principle of justice. By describing
justice in social rather than legal terms, our attention is immediately drawn to
national problems that can only be fixed by a civil government with enough power
to enforce its policies.
Antonio Martino points out, however,
that the expression “social justice . . . owes its immense popularity precisely
to its ambiguity and meaninglessness. It can be used by different people,
holding quite different views, to designate a wide variety of different things.
It’s obvious appeal stems from its persuasive strength, from its positive
connotations, which allows the user to praise his own ideas and simultaneously
express contempt for the ideas of those who don’t agree with him.”[1]
Confiscating literally trillions of dollars in taxes from one segment of society and redistributing the collected revenue to another segment of society and calling it “social justice” does not mean that it is in fact the just thing to do.
