To Republicans, I humbly suggest that we make it possible for Democrats to give up their quest for redistribution of income and wealth by our acceptance of an appropriate role for government in financing those public goods and services necessary to secure a social safety net below which no American would be allowed to fall.

Summary

This quote suggests that Republicans should consider embracing a certain level of government involvement in funding essential public services, in order to alleviate Democrats' push for income and wealth redistribution. It proposes that by striking a balance and ensuring a social safety net is in place, both parties can find common ground and prevent any American from experiencing extreme poverty or disadvantage.
