There is so much injustice perpetrated in the name of fairness

I guess it is a difference of opinion about injustice.

I see it as an injustice to take money out of a poor person's pocket now to pay for the failures of a different, unrelated poor person.

In my country electricity rates increase in slabs as you consume more. The highest consumption users (usually the rich and fortunate) subsidize all low consumption users. So poor people are not affected by the choices of their own class. But we as a society show benevolence to the poor and the unfortunate in this way

In many situations unfairness is a form of injustice.
