#1 So, I should consider it 'social injustice' because being short, small and slow I'll never qualify for an NBA player salary? Was it 'social injustice' that my draft number came up 97 while the ladies of my year group had none? Can we play the 'victimhood' game instead of dealing with life as its been in all of human history, like dealing with 'elites' who want to define and impose their 'order' on the rest of us with whatever excuse they can conjure up.

#2 Divided into the taxed and the tax-eaters.

Who is being oppressed here??? It's the taxed! With the current tax system "Social justice" is an inversion of justice whereby you are fined for creating wealth and doing things others value!

#3 The Tyranny of the recipient (to steal a phrase - npi) is alive and well.

I can think of few bigger social injustices than the lie promulgated by Statists to their un-washed masses about having some right to equal economic results under the law.

#4 "Karl Marx referred to as the Law of Increasing Poverty"

If one understand Marxism and doesn't just parrot the quotes you'd understand that is what Marxism does to a society. It increases poverty. Anyone that would quote Marx in anything but a negative way shows themselves the fool.

#5 The problem we have no is we've created a welfare system that is closer to a hammock than a safety net and regulated most entry level jobs out of the equation so they've gone offshore or been taken over by illegals. The combination all but ensures poverty and drug rates increase while those that stay in the work force gain ground.

#6 "Anyone that would quote Marx in anything but a negative way shows themselves the fool."

-I 100% agree, but somehow left-tards and supposedly educated college professors do this w/disturbing regularity.
