FDR said this in 1944
quote -
"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 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 business man, 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 opporunity 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.
- Franklin Delano Roosevelt: Message to Congress, January 11, 1944
