is much the old corporation lawyers A""'
sed to argue defending the financial abuses practced by the
heads of business They would say:
1.-THE individual directors of the corporation did not do
this and they are not liable was the corporate entity
which did it,"
So corporate manipulators hid behind the he
poraon" that unreal and had mo body to be
kicked or soul to be damned" they got away with it.
But know that corporation just an association Of
individual stockholders of whom elected directors
We behind the fiction Of corporate entity to the reality
Of the individuals who responsible We say that RESPONSE
blity should go with power
So it is with the national government" 1t is
just association Of ndviduasyou and and the rest of
We elect President and board of directors and they
just other individuals like ourselves
right these leaders pass the buck to such
entities the nation 'the government etcH If they
running the government they the They
do things, and then tell that the government did
them.
What do they by social justce"' They what
ever they individuals the they
ming to do Above all they that they want to do things
which will stand the test Of individual justice So they
up the fiction of the state nation assume that it is
society, and then being control OF he government they
assert that they doing SOCIAL justice.
For example, individuals would recognize the IN
justices taking the money earned by person from
him in order to use it price Of another ind
vduals product (say silver producer cotton grower)
No individuals would build needless and unproducve roads,
swimming pools etc. Individuals would count the cost
No individual would be allowed by other individuals to
write promises to and compel his fellows to take them in
lieu Of money.
Yet we see the government" land the leaders who hide
behind the governmet doing these things and We
allow them to play politics. waste capital and labor and
tamper with the purchasing Of in the name
of 'social justice" ....-... .-- - ....
1t is all very much like corporation which overcapazes
and sells waered stock by disappearing its assets The
Individual manipuators Of the corporation try to hide
behind the corporate entity They plead corporate justice
But their act unjust the individual stockholders, whose
rights violated.
Just so Government administration which wastes the
of its Individual citizens whether in Ethiopia or
depression should not be allowed to get with
about social justice and duty to the nation
for wasting labor and capital destroying savings and
doing injustice to individuals.
You can't turn injustice individuals into justice by having
the Government do it and calling it social justice
Mr. Roosevelt says:
First of all your duty and mine is to the nation
Aside from the fact that it for to think he IS
doing his duty nation which he is running this not
true statement Your duty twofold first be yourself and
second make yourself worth being In order to do these
duties you know both your rights Individual and
rights of other individuals Then should do unto others
as you would like them to do unto you.
Follow that philosophy and there will be no boondoggng
or initiation political scuduuggery Social justice will arise
out of individual justice.
