The Tea Party we were told is only about economics; not true. It was always about economics and social issues. They just hid the social issues and now we just see who they really are.

Andrew Sullivan

Economic issues are a subset of social justice. Social justice is unimaginable without economic justice. Isn't that obvious?

Rick Perlstein

I don't know if I even consider myself a very political person. I have always had strong beliefs on important social issues. Politics have politicized social issues, but I don't know if social issues are in fact political. If anything, they are more human issues than they are political issues.

Kenneth Cole

I find myself moved by social justice issues. I'm not sure where that will lead me. I'm willing to nurture it.

Eden Robinson

Teaching has always been, for me, linked to issues of social justice. I've never considered it a neutral or passive profession.

Bill Ayers

I don't believe we need to choose between addressing economic issues and addressing issues of social or racial justice.

Julian Castro

Yes, I launched the Talli Telangana Party in 2005 and fought on several issues like justice to women, safe drinking water in the fluoride affected parts of the state, social and cultural issues.

Social justice is a cancer. Social justice means you are ruled by whatever the mob does. What social justice does is destroy individual responsibility.

Rafael Cruz

Our lives are so dominated by financial concerns - paying the rent - and consumer choices - what sort of detergent to buy at Costco - that larger issues get subsumed into economic ones. Not just social justice, but basic issues of faith and meaning.

Campbell McGrath

The differences between Rand Paul and millennials are vast - not just on economics, but on social issues that matter to young people, too.

Eric Swalwell

Social justice is collectivism. Social justice is the rights of a group. It denies individual responsibility. It's a negation of individual responsibility, so social justice is totally contrary to the Word of God.

Ted Cruz

I beg you, look for the words 'social justice' or 'economic justice' on your church Web site. If you find it, run as fast as you can. Social justice and economic justice, they are code words.

Glenn Beck

In its pursuit of justice for a segment of society, in disregard of the consequences for society as a whole, what is called 'social justice' might more accurately be called anti-social justice, since what consistently gets ignored or dismissed are precisely the costs to society. Such a conception of justice seeks to correct, not only biased or discriminatory acts by individuals or by social institutions, but unmerited disadvantages in general, from whatever source they may arise.

Thomas Sowell

All stories interest me, and some haunt me until I end up writing them. Certain themes keep coming up: justice, loyalty, violence, death, political and social issues, freedom.

Isabel Allende

I started in the law; and the study of law, when it precedes the study of economics, gives you a set of foundation principles about how human beings interact. Economics is very useful, and I studied economics in graduate school. But without understanding the social and organizational context of economics, it becomes a theory without any groundwork.
