The answer might surprise you. It has to do with something we don’t often talk about in explicit terms. It has to do with morality.

The question is not what anybody deserves. The question is who is to take on the God-like role of deciding what everybody else deserves. You can talk about 'social justice' all you want.

That is not social justice or any other kind of justice.
