President Franklin Roosevelt’s Economic Bill of Rights ☀
A Different Economic Measure: Quality of LIfe and an Economic Bill of Rights
We have to come to a clear realization of that fact that true individual freedom cannot exist without economic security and independence. We have accepted a second Bill of Rights under which a new basis of security and prosperity can be established for all — regardless of station, race or creed. Among these are:
- The right to a useful and remunerative job.
- The right to earn enough to provide adequate food and clothing and recreation.
- 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.
