  • Oh 100% this is why. It always comes down to money and power. This bill threatened both, especially #4.

    1. “The right to a useful and remunerative job in the industries or shops or farms or mines of the nation.”
    2. “The right to earn enough to provide adequate food and clothing and recreation.”
    3. “The right of every farmer to raise and sell his products at a return which will give him and his family a decent living.”
    4. “The right of every businessman, large and small, to trade in an atmosphere of freedom from unfair competition and domination by monopolies at home and abroad.”
    5. “The right of every family to a decent home.”
    6. “The right to adequate medical care and the opportunity to achieve and enjoy good health.”
    7. “The right to adequate protection from the economic fears of old age, sickness, accidents, and unemployment.”
    8. “The right to a good education.”












  • Lest we forget:

    Fourteenth Amendment, Section 1:

    All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.

    Pretty hard to argue that “all persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside” doesn’t mean what it clearly states. It’s not even in legalese. The fact that this wasn’t laughed out of court says everything.
