Comrades, did you ever wonder where all this entitlement nonsense began? What isn't a basic human right today? You can achieve your dreams if you just apply yourself and use your God-given talent whine long enough and make a convincing case for victim status.
But I digress. Here's the quiz question which some of you will likely nail immediately without googling, etc. Which famous person once said...
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.
What's the award you ask? Don't I exist? Aren't I entitled to a prize? Of course you are! Whoever answers this question correctly gets a hayride on my new EcoTractor™! So have at it, comrades. Let's see who's first by virtue of being unfairly more educated than other comrades!
Losers with low self-esteem are urged to report to Commissarka Pinkie, Director of Nurturing, for sympathy and affirmation.
