The Morality of Social Justice

"The Democrats' moral language should be about social justice." It's not exactly a new point, but Robert Reich articulates it well in this Slate column. "Democrats need to talk more about it (faith), and inspire more of it. But...I mean the sort of faith on which all social progress has been based, and must be based -- an irrational faith that it is possible, by working together, to create a more just nation and a more just world."
