We already have those things in society, it's called the Welfare Program. or Public assistance! We now have the fourth generation living on it working toward the fifth. They get free medical, pharmaceutical, eye care, training at trade schools and colleges, houses bought and paid for, cars bought and paid for, free meals for their children[thank God] free groceries, free utilities, lets see, did I leave something out?? Oh yes, if they can't get on that program then they will go to the local doctor and he'll sign a form so they can get disability and take more money out of the social security fund that most of us have worked for in the past forty years. On that government program they don't have to pay taxes anymore, they only pay a portion of property taxes/ in some states/ they get special benefits.
But they don't have enough lets give them more.
It's really called laziness. If a man don't work neither should he eat.

The eye roller is that JJ Jr is taking his thoughts from (and quoting) FDR.
I'm glad he never got his second bill of rights and I sure hope they don't get through this time either.
Excerpt from President Roosevelt's January 11, 1944 message to the Congress of the United States on the State of the Union[1]:
Quote:
“ It is our duty now to begin to lay the plans and determine the strategy for the winning of a lasting peace and the establishment of an American standard of living higher than ever before known. We cannot be content, no matter how high that general standard of living may be, if some fraction of our people—whether it be one-third or one-fifth or one-tenth—is ill-fed, ill-clothed, ill-housed, and insecure.
This Republic had its beginning, and grew to its present strength, under the protection of certain inalienable political rights—among them the right of free speech, free press, free worship, trial by jury, freedom from unreasonable searches and seizures. They were our rights to life and liberty.
As our nation has grown in size and stature, however—as our industrial economy expanded—these political rights proved inadequate to assure us equality in the pursuit of happiness.
We have come to a clear realization of the fact that true individual freedom cannot exist without economic security and independence. “Necessitous men are not free men.”[2] People who are hungry and out of a job are the stuff of which dictatorships are made.
In our day these economic truths have become accepted as self-evident. We have accepted, so to speak, 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 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.
All of these rights spell security. And after this war is won we must be prepared to move forward, in the implementation of these rights, to new goals of human happiness and well-being.
Americas own rightful place in the world depends in large part upon how fully these and similar rights have been carried into practice for all our citizens.
For unless there is security here at home there cannot be lasting peace in the world.
