It is hard to think of anything more cruel or self-defeating than to destroy the spirit and ambition within a population. Promising equal results to all will certainly result in a race to the bottom for everyone because all incentive will be eliminated thus ensuring failure. The ambitious crowd will cease to strive and take risk while the apathetic crowd will never be motivated to venture into realizing any aspiration. For as unkind as it seems that there are some in society that have attained a disproportionate amount of abundance, it is even more unkind to extinguish all hope that the others may ascend to the same level of accomplishment. Notions of social justice sound utopian, but as often true of Government promises; they seldom deliver and create massive destruction as a result of their implementation. Having different and unequal results in society should be viewed as a gift that facilitates a better life for all of us. Allowing a system that rewards effort and accomplishment will rightly keep America’s arrow pointed up in the future, anything to the contrary will guarantee an outcome not even worthy of a dismal participation trophy.

The more plausible objective of the social justice movement is the unspoken goal of achieving income redistribution, a concept centered on equal result instead of equal opportunity. The concept of justice is asserted to portray the belief that some citizens among us rightfully deserve the same result as other more prosperous citizens and society has not delivered on that conviction, thus it is seen as an injustice that needs to be remedied. What makes this so attractive is that is requires no responsibility for one’s standing in life, it is too easy to play the victim proclaiming how unfair everything appears while expecting financial resolution under the pretext of justice. Equally disturbing to this thinking are the proponents of this mindset that actually believe this to be legitimate and expect one to compensate another only because they have attained wealth. The results are not perceived to be equal in our society, thus the remedy of reallocation is needed, and this can be accomplished while proclaiming it to be about equal opportunity. If it was really about equal opportunity and not equal result, then why is it not labeled social opportunity or something similar? A question that comes to mind is if all the money was equally redistributed tomorrow, would there still be a social justice movement in search of opportunity? If the answer is no, then ask yourself how long would it be before it resurfaces again. The answers are obvious and easily illustrate the true objective of social justice however malicious and absurd it may be.
