FDR's Economic Bill of Rights

Why didn't we get this, Veeky Forums? Is such a thing even possible?

The key points:
>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.

>The right to a useful and remunerative job in the industries or shops or farms or mines of the nation
>remunerative
Yeah, good luck getting stuff like cleaners with that attitude.

I don't think he was actually proposing adding those as new amendments, but used it as a vision for what the US should be working towards.

Even the most stubborn New Deal Liberal would know that those vague amendments would be retarded.

You don't know what a "Right" is in the American context, so right off the bat your idea is bunk.

That having been said

>The right to a useful and remunerative job in the industries or shops or farms or mines of the nation
Define "useful", "remunerative", "job", "industries", "shops", "farms", "mines", "nation.

>The right to earn enough to provide adequate food and clothing and recreation
Define "Earn", "enough", "provide", "adequate", "food", "clothing", "recreation".

>The right of e...
You know what you clearly didn't think this through, come back after you've actually done some thinking and looked into the matter.

A right is not a right if it requires significant input from other people

What the fuck are you even talking about? Are you even Anerican?

LOOKS LIKE COMMIE SHIT TO ME

Because muh constitution

>>The right of every farmer to raise and sell his products at a return which will give him and his family a decent living
This is the only one I don't like because it sounds like the farmer can do whatever he wants and someone will be forced to buy it.

Are you saying cleaning is not useful?
