As someone else noted...the greatest injustice is not poverty, but massive inequality. It is that which sparks both crime and violent revolution. When people are all in the same boat together, they should have the sense to share on a relatively equal basis. That's what Captain Bligh did after being cast off in a longboat with about a dozen other desperate men, and he got almost all of them alive to Australia, against all odds. Without sharing equally they would never have made it.

The people in a society are also in one boat together, traveling across dangerous waters, and the same principles apply. A relatively even level of material equality in the basics of life (food, drink, shelter, medical care, and other necessities) is the foundation of both liberty and justice in a decent society.

The rich few who run your society DON'T want you to know that...or even think about it.
