Franklin D. Roosevelt's “Second Bill of Rights”

Original Bill of Rights had "proved inadequate to assure us equality in the pursuit of happiness"

January 11, 1944 given in FDR’s State of the Union address

In order to control and gain more power like every communist/socialist before him…

FDR paraded his “second bill of rights” as shoring up the social contract that government had with its citizens.

He introduced these during his “State of the Union” address on January 11, 1944.

• 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.

Were these self-evident freedoms and liberties, like the original bill of rights?

“Rights” that should be guaranteed to you by government?

The very essence in which you give up your freedoms and liberty in order for overlords to take care of you.

FDR’s New Deal was another nail in the freedom coffin and one step closer to government control.

As Jim Rohn once stated, “Would you rather live 30 years full of adventure? Or would you rather live safe and secure in the corner, and we will bring you three square meals a day?”

Stay strong,
