[No matter how true and how obvious from history this is many people still want “economic justice” or “fairness” imposed by the government.
I’ve been trying to come up with a good response to this. The best I have been able to do is, “How do you measure fairness/justice?” Followed up with something like, “If you can’t express it in numbers then it’s just opinion.” in the most condescending tone I can muster (Barb says I do this tone very well).
But perhaps this caller who has a more intimate knowledge of how these work is a better response.–Joe]
“economic justice” is just the excuse. The goal, as usual, is control.
“How do you measure fairness/justice?”
Exactly. I’ve had people argue that the only way to make restitution for past discrimination is to create reverse discrimination, “until it’s even”. When I ask them how they’ll know when it’s even and fair, and we can go back to equality under the law, they can’t answer, and usually get angry.
