I think the root of their discontent is the fact that life is not fair. They want government to make it fair or in their words "just". Fools, everyone. Other than that many are nice folks. But still fools.

"Fair" isn't a feature of reality. It was (as Scott Adams says) a concept made up so children and idiots could feel as though they are participating in the conversation. Changing the word to "just" doesn't solve the problem.

(And I doubt a statist would recognize justice if someone rubbed his nose in it.)
