Conversations, not Diatribes: Thoughts for Parashat Korah, June 23, 2012
Here are two views on fairness; with which one do you agree more?
A. It is only fair that those who are wealthier should share with those who have less. The essential health of a society is based on compassion and caring, a spirit of responsibility for all members of society.
B. It is only fair that people should be allowed to keep what they earn through their own hard work. The essential health of a society is based on respect for individual rights and individual choices.
Those who opt for A are most likely to be political liberals. Those who choose B are most likely to be conservatives.
