FDR declared in a State of the union in 1944:
“This Republic had its beginning, and grew to its present strength, under the protection of certain inalienable rights- among them the right of free speech, free press, free worship, trial by jury, freedom from unreasoanble search and seizures. They were our rights to life and liberty”
FDR went on to propose a “Second Bill of Rights”:
“The right to a useful and remunerative job in the industries or shops or farms of the Nation; to earn enough to provide adequate food and clothing and recreation; of every farmer to raise and sell his products at a return which will give him and his family a decent living; of every businessman, large and small, to trade in an atmosphere of freedom from unfair competition and domination by monopolies at home or abroad; of every family to a decent home; to adequate medical care and the opportunity to achieve and enjoy good health; to adequate protection from the economic fears of old age, sickness, accident, and unemployment; to a good education.”
Mark Levin comments- “This is tyranny’s disguise. These are not rights. They are the Statist’s false promise of utopianism, which the Statist uses to justify all trespasses on the individual’s private property.”
