In Europe 200.000 marched agains poverty:

First, they must understand the definition of the word "Justice".

Justice is to reward the producer for producing.

If we reward the looter equally, is this justice? What incentive remains for the producer to produce? At that point, wouldn't it be easier for the producer to simply sit on his ass and save his effort, taking the same handout the looters receive?

When we reward the producer, do we do so at the expense of the looter? Did someone somehow hold the looter and forcibly stop him from producing?

This newfound "culture of guilt" will destroy us. Liberals want us to believe we are somehow guilty of oppressing those who have less because we create goods and services for which the world is willing to fairly compensate us.

Poverty is Natural Selection - it is the natural way of motivating the Looter to get off his ass and DO SOMETHING to contribute to the world around him - through new products, new services, innovative thought processes.
