Quote by Michael J. Sandel

“When Franklin D. Roosevelt launched Social Security in 1935, he did not present it as expressing the mutual obligation of citizens to one another. ... Rather than offer a communal rationale, FDR argued that such rights were essential to "true individual freedom," adding, "necessitous men are not free men.”

Is there no way for them to come out of the hell fire?” In asking forgiveness for demons, he suddenly saw himself ostracized. In a way, Josh began to relate to these fallen angels— these ultimate outcasts.”
