Summary

This quote suggests that the size of the Federal budget does not accurately reflect the level of social conscience or charitable concern of a society. In other words, simply increasing the budget does not indicate a genuine care for social issues or a willingness to help others. It implies that true social conscience and charitable concern are measured by actions and genuine efforts rather than monetary allocations. Thus, the quote challenges the notion that the size of a budget can be used as a gauge for the level of compassion or concern in a society.

Human life is not some sort of race or game in which each person should start from an identical mark. It is an attempt by each man to be as happy as possible. And each person could not begin from the same point, for the world has not just come into being; it is diverse and infinitely varied in its parts. The mere fact that one individual is necessarily born in a different place from someone else immediately insures that his inherited opportunity cannot be the same as his neighbor's. The drive for equality of opportunity would also require the abolition of the family since different parents have unequal abilities; it would require the communal rearing of children. The State would have to nationalize all babies and raise them in State nurseries under 'equal' conditions. But even here conditions cannot be the same, because different State officials will themselves have different abilities and personalities. And equality can never be achieved because of necessary differences of location.

The most that one of Jewish faith can do - and some have gladly done it - is to say that Jesus was the greatest in the long succession of Jewish prophets. None can acknowledge that Jesus was the Messiah without becoming a Christian.
