Summary

The quote expresses agreement with the liberal values of compassion, justice, and equality, while expressing disagreement with the idea that the government should be responsible for providing everything. It suggests that while these values are important, it is not the role of the government to fulfill all needs and demands; rather, there should be a balance between promoting these values and individuals taking some personal responsibility for their own welfare. The quote implicitly supports a more limited role for government involvement in providing for people's needs.
