Think of the future

As a private-sector worker, having passed through two very difficult years doing more with less, witnessing public employees taking to the streets over minor increases in health care premiums or pension reform is disheartening. Does “social justice” mean that we lobby politicians to take care of us and our charitable obligations to “our brother” by raising taxes on our neighbors? It is not about what you think you deserve but what your neighbors and future generations can afford in tough times.
