The biblical vision is that you go beyond justice. You consider what it is a person needs, and that's how you pay your workers. The biblical witness is that in the eyes of Jesus and in the eyes of God, we are all equal. Everybody gets what they need, not what they have earned, and that's the last thing on earth that we want.
