Corporate Greed and Social Justice
In
today’s world , there seems to be a big call for social justice, and
in some cases there is a huge separation between what the really well
off people earn and what the lower income people earn. I believe every
person deserves to earn as much as he can according to his abilities and
desires, and spend it how and where he wants.
However having said that, the employees who earn the profits of large companies also deserve a piece of the pie. But that is an issue that needs to be solved between the employer and employee. The government has no place interfering in this dispute. Even in these supposedly hard times, it is still possible to better one self and seek employment in a more friendly environment.
I have had relatives lose jobs in the last few years and find new and good paying jobs in the process. It may not be what they want to do , but it is a job and an income to pay the bills. Sooner or later something more to their liking will come along and it will all turn out for the best. I really don’t know of anyone who has always had their dream job throughout their entire life.
I’m not sure why the boards of directors of some of these companies unjustly reward executives for making bad decisions and leading their company and way of life into economic hardship and ruin. It just doesn’t make good sense.
Many people see social justice as a way to create a level playing field. I have news for you, there is no level playing field. We are all created equal in the sense we should have equal opportunity, and in most case in the United States, we do have equal opportunity, according to our abilities and desires.
You can’t make the poor wealthy by giving them money from the rich. This theory has been tried time and time again throughout history and has always failed. All it does is make everyone poor and lazy. The only people who believe this will work are the ones who don’t have anything, including ambition or self confidence,and find it easier to take money from the people who have it than go out and earn it for themselves.
We aren’t doing anyone a favor by giving them a free ride, everyone, if they are capable physically and mentally deserve to find their own way and create a life where they can excel at what they do, with the least interference from government as possible.
Most of the participants of the Occupy movement have no idea what life is all about and even if some have a legitimate cause, many have lead lives of affluence and never had to work for anything and as a result they think they deserve all the luxuries of life to be given to them with little or no effort.
Nothing could be farther from the truth, as I said earlier, we are all created equal, but only in the sense we should have equal opportunity according to our abilities and desires. Not equal economic or social standing, we have to earn that.
