injustice

In contrasting terms, justice and injustice seem inseparable. However, an interpretation of justice as the opposite of injustice builds a separable relationship because justice acquires a positive connotation by distributing valuable social necessities such as common goods, benefits, and opportunities. And a wide range of theories supports the positive function of justice: for example, libertarians see justice as a vehicle for liberty, communitarians places it as a pivotal provider for common goods, and socialists find it inevitable in terms of upholding social equality. 

On the other hand, injustice carries a negative implication that incites individuals or citizens who are angry at social systems to make a titanic effort that can eradicate problems in the present. Although injustice is widely understood as something that needs to be rectified for a better society, notions of injustice based on political theory have been less likely to attract scholars’ attention than those of justice. In fact, numerous theorists who pay little attention to injustice regard it as a mere subset of justice.

So why has the society of the United State been numb with injustice?

Big corporations like GE paid no federal taxes, not even single penny in 2010, because the CEO was a good friend of the president according to accusations from Republicans' favorable media. But the real story is that the bulk of those profits GE made, some $9 billion, were offshore. In fact, GE got a $3.2 billion tax benefit. Isn't this injustice? More devastating phenomenon was very few politicians yell at the ruse. Why?   They are beneficiaries of big corporations' generous donation. What makes me even feel confused is President Obama's speech given in Columbus, Ohio, on Sept. 13, 2011. He said bigger companies of America should pay higher taxes. What a lip service.    

 If the United States has this kind of corporation ruling system, which country can possibly fix such a loophole? In short, it seems that justice hasn't been served yet and/or injustice has been served still.
