“Freedom without an equal chance to enjoy it is no freedom at all. True patriots believe it is immoral when inequality of opportunity leads to and perpetuates inequality itself . . . True patriots believe that we should measure a citizen’s worth by contribution to country and community, not by wealth or power — that those whom America has benefited most should contribute in proportion to their good fortune — and that serving others should be esteemed more highly than serving self.” Eric Liu and Nick Hanauer, The True Patriot, p. 20-21, Sasquatch Books 2007
