Karma to me is merely a word to describe the interplay of the vast concert of existence. There's nothing mystical to it, and it's not entirely about "good to those who do good and bad to those who do bad".
In buddhism, there is a lot of talk about "skillful means" where in order to lead someone to enlightenment it may be necessary to hurt them, or do really cruel things.
If you think about the chains of action and reaction long enough, you can see where pretty much any good thing you do could work back to something bad happeneing in the world around.
Hence, good people get crapped on, and bad people get good fortune. There's no need for an arbeiter being pushing good fate and bad this way and that.
Or something.
