Buying Social Justice: Equality, Government Procurement, and Legal Change - Book Report/Review Example

The government is forcing even those who do not take coffee to pay a certain amount of money in order to sustain its programs. It is unethical for the government to use very stern measures which will make some people suffer in order to help a certain segment of the population.

Instead, the government has a mandate of ensuring that equality in the distribution of burden is achieved. This is through ensuring that all people are treated equitably and taxes imposed effectively in order to get into a balance. People should be given an opportunity to select what to purchase and where to purchase. On the other hand, the government should not target one product only. Instead, it should diversify its tax base in order to ensure that when a person shifts from one product to the other, he will still contribute some money towards the governance of the country (McCrudden 24).

Response to the post
I agree that the government should not force itself on the people.
