USA Ranks 27th in Social Justice

[bripat9643]

For the benefit of all fascists:

Social Justice:

"The fair and proper administration of laws conforming to the natural law that all persons, irrespective of ethnic origin, gender, possessions, race, religion, etc., are to be treated equally and without prejudice. See also civil rights.

What is social justice? definition and meaning

Nope, that's the definition of "justice." If you put a qualifier in front of the word, then the result must refer to something different. So-called "social justice" refers to organized plunder, not justice.

The foundation you're reporting on is comparing countries with some very basic differences in what is considered social egalitarianism rendering these type of comparisons nonsensical at best.

 

[Euroconservativ]

America has the most progressive tax system among OECD countries. The wealthiest 10% pay 45% of all taxes vs. an average of 32%. Why the difference? Much higher taxes on labor and consumption in Europe. In fact, according to Eurostat, only 1/6 of revenues in the EU come from taxes on capital. Taxes on consumption are the first source of government revenue in the EU.

Share of taxes by the richest 10%:

USA 45%
Italy 42%
UK 39%

Germany 31%
France 28%
Sweden 27% (VAT 25%)
Denmark 26% (VAT 25%)

Switzerland 21%

Average OECD 32%

MLK Jr. stood heavily for Social Justice

And we see how that ended up.

yea, with lack of oversight on programs made too easily to abuse, and people who abuse them. shocking.

Is this a call to help those underserved?

It's a call to stop "choosing" between candidates pre-selected by the 1%, of the 1%, and for the 1%.

Easier said than done.

The game is that the parties parce out SOCIAL ISSUES such that, despite the fact that the majority of what the parties want and do is the SAME, the voters will choose one or the other based on those SOCIAL ISSUES.

For example, I'll end up voting for Obama because on the margins his social welfare policies are less toxic than any of the GOP's.

The GOP will attract a certain kind of voter for exactly the opposite reason.

Meanwhile, as it regards the issues that matter to the overall welfare of the nation?

Well those will be much the same regardless of who wins the day.

See how, for example, Bush II's WELFARE for the BANSTERS and Obama's are basically the same policy?

Educated voters choosing the "lessor evil" on election day guarantee another win for the 1%.

Prior to the internet, there was probably no alternative to voting on the margins.
I'm not sure that is still the case.
Millions of regular voters have existing third party candidates already appearing on their ballots.
Additional millions of eligible voters who usually don't see anyone worth voting for could be tempted to vote against every incumbent on their ballots.

President Romney has scary overtones for you and I; however, I'm beginning to believe Obama would be far more effective in convincing Americans that "terrorism" presents a much greater danger to this Republic than a government unaccountable to law and Constitution.

As always, our "choice" is pre-selected by the 1%.

That's like saying the USA ranks 27th in idiocy. "Social Justice" is a scam. It's a euphemism meaning "injustice." Justice is justice. When you put qualifiers in front of the word, you change it's meaning to be something other than justice. That means "injustice," in other words.

I think this idiocy speaks for itself.

Prove it wrong, moron.

Not my burden, moron.

"A foundation in Germany has analyzed the social justice records of all 31 members of the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), ranking each nation in such categories as health care, income inequality, pre-school education, and child poverty.

"The overall performance by the United States — which boasts of being an egalitarian society — outranks only Greece, Chile, Mexico, and Turkey.

"The term and modern concept of 'social justice' was coined by the Jesuit Luigi Taparelli in 1840 based on the teachings of St. Thomas Aquinas and given further exposure in 1848 by Antonio Rosmini-Serbati.[1][2][4][5][6]

"The word has taken on a very controverted and variable meaning, depending on whom it is used.

"The idea was elaborated by the moral theologian John A. Ryan, who initiated the concept of a living wage.

"Father Coughlin also used the term in his publications in the 1930s and the 1940s. It is a part of Catholic social teaching, the Episcopalians' Social Gospel, and is one of the Four Pillars of the Green Party upheld by green parties worldwide.

"Social justice as a secular concept, distinct from religious teachings, emerged mainly in the late twentieth century, influenced primarily by philosopher John Rawls. Some tenets of social justice have been adopted by those on the left of the political spectrum."

Stop being afraid of equality.

Kinda like putting a qualifier in front of "patriot" makes for a new meaning, which must actually mean the opposite.

Really? Who on the "left" is "putting out their chests" confused for the rate of single parents?

What are you blathering about regarding Social Security?

MYTHS AND MISINFORMATION ABOUT SOCIAL SECURITY

That the money goes to the general fund, that there is not one red dime in the fund. That if the government doesnt borrow more money the checks dont go out.

Now what the fuck do you say?

I say read the link.

So you have absolutely nothing to even debunk what I said let alone refute.

What point are you trying to make?

"A foundation in Germany has analyzed the social justice records of all 31 members of the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), ranking each nation in such categories as health care, income inequality, pre-school education, and child poverty.

"The overall performance by the United States — which boasts of being an egalitarian society — outranks only Greece, Chile, Mexico, and Turkey.

"Actually, three of those countries performed better than ours in the education of pre-schoolers, and Greece did better than the United States on the prevention of poverty."

Another example of the economic and political inequality built into this system that won't change by "choosing" between Mitt and Mutt next November.

Good. I'd like to see us lower but it's a start.

Lower?

40% of all births in the US have only one parent in the house.

How much further into the abyss must we sink?

I didn't say I'd like to see more one parent households. 'Social Justice' is just a re-branding of 'socialism'. It has been re-branded to make it more palatable to those of us who value freedom.

'Social Justice' can kiss my ass.

Lord hammercy, just because the word social is in there doesnt mean its socialism. Next you'll be railing against ice cream socials, social clubs and social studies. Holy fuck, I bet you stand in the grocery store trying to debate a can of progresso soup about liberalism.

My comment is based on my observation of 'social justice' in action. It remains my view, despite your half assed attempts to justify it.

Got jack shit to do with it.

This country was founded on certain principles (please refer to the Constitution). I don't give a rat's ass where we are in any international comparison.... We are not comparable to other nations - because they do not live by our Constitution. Why do we have to measure up to someone else's standard?

Fuck 'em. We are who we are. This is the United States of America, land of the free, home of the brave. End of.

Move to Mexico.
Take Mitt and Mutt with you.
Good riddance.

Why don't YOU move to Spain or Greece or Cuba or Venezuela... Social Justice appears to be working quite well there.

Fuck a bunch of that social justice shit.

Social Justice is the new sanitized term income redistribution.... they're hoping nobody noticed... but we did. Sorry about dat.

I love that the RWers think that this is something to be proud of...

I came into this thread intending to make a joke about how the Right would think this was good thing, and got pre-empted by reality.

And have you been anywhere where there is little or no 'social justice' where things are better?
