Inequality is as dear to the American heart as liberty itself.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
It is true that liberty is precious; so precious that it must be carefully rationed.
Liberty isn't liberalism, arbitrariness, but it's connected; it's conditioned by the great values of love and solidarity and in general by the good.
And what is liberty, whose very name makes the heart beat faster and shakes the world? Is it not the union of all liberties - liberty of conscience, of education, of association, of the press, of travel, or labor, or trade?
Liberty is not the power of doing what we like, but the right to do what we ought.
We are as great as our belief in human liberty - no greater. And our belief in human liberty is only ours when it is larger than ourselves.
Liberty is not merely a privilege to be conferred; it is a habit to be acquired.
Inequality saps the economy by draining the buying power of Americans whose incomes have stagnated, forcing them to rely on debt to fund education, housing, and health care.
That's part of American greatness, is discrimination. Yes, sir. Inequality, I think, breeds freedom and gives a man opportunity.
The more liberty you give away the more you will have.
Equality is the soul of liberty; there is, in fact, no liberty without it.
