Rethugs and Social Justice

[kairos12]

Teabaggers and their ilk often say that any person not doing well in our society is the their own fault, their lazy, you know the litany of lies they spread. Sometimes, they might say those down-trodden people can be taken care of by churches and other charitable organizations. What the baggers fail to grasp, or choose not to grasp, is that by the very organization of society there will be many people who will not have enough to eat, have a place to live, or even proper clothing. That is the fact despite the good will and actions by many in society. The concept of social justice requires us to remedy and assist those who do not have the means to do it for themselves. That is justice. It is not charity.
