These are just a few examples. Besides that, there is all the work that Catholic, Christian and other religious organizations due in charity work and providing the only functioning schools in a community. There is also a more libertarian-leaning (i.e., people who don't like being called "conservative") approach that points out (1) capitalism has done more to lift people from poverty than any other human invention, and (2) too often, government regulations actually get in the way of social justice (see, e.g., housing regulations). It strikes me as stunningly ignorant that someone can believe that there is no "conservative position on social justice." |
