Morality Tales and Emotional Responses to Policy

Interesting article about the "cruelty" of Paul Ryan's budget, along with reflection about how we process public policy in emotional ways, and in terms of "morality tales" that conflict.  I've written elsewhere on my blog here, about Robert Reich's differentiation of "morality tales" and ethicist Eric Mount's hope that we embrace "better stories" and a more inclusive vision of the common good. What's your take on these topics?
