It's Been 60 Years - His Time was Then and His Time is Now
FDR, I think was arguably our best president. Compare his "Second Bill of Rights" to what the Bush/Cheney idiots are doing now.
Among the rights he articulated were:
"The right to a useful and remunerative job in the industries or shops or farms or mines of the nation."
"The right to earn enough to provide adequate food and clothing and recreation."
"The right of every farmer to raise and sell his products at a return which will give him and his family a
decent living."
"The right of every businessman, large and small, to trade in an atmosphere of freedom from unfair
competition and domination by monopolies at home or abroad."
"The right of every family to a decent home."
"The right to adequate medical care and the opportunity to achieve and enjoy good health."
"The right to adequate protection from the economic fears of old age, sickness, accident and unemployment."
"The right to a good education."
Is this too much to ask of the most powerful nation on earth?
