How terrible of FDR. He was promoting the idea that people in need of assistance were better served with jobs where they could earn their money doing public projects instead of just a ticket to the soup kitchen line. He gave out jobs instead of handouts.What about this "promise of American"?
"Give me your tired, your poor, Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, The wretched refuse of your teeming shore. Send these, the homeless, tempest-tossed to me, I lift my lamp beside the golden door! "
We're breaking the shit outta this one.
Clean up your language, dunce.
The Emma Lazarus poem was published in 1883, when immigrants came to America to work, not for handouts.
Since when has anyone gotten "handouts"? Go check out your local farm fields, office-cleaning businesses where they send employees to scrub the office toilets and vacuum, fast-food establishments, moving companies,and the landscape companies that you hire to do your lawn. Ask who does the actual dirty work.
"Since when has anyone gotten "handouts"? "
"The lessons of history ā¦ show conclusively that continued dependence upon relief induces a spiritual and moral disintegration fundamentally destructive to the national fiber. To dole out relief in this way is to administer a narcotic, a subtle destroyer of the human spirit."
These searing words about Depression-era welfare are from Franklin Roosevelt's 1935 State of the Union Address
But, of course, it is 'vote buying.'
FDR was a fraud....very much like you,
Here is an interesting visual: imagine a triple line of the unemployed, three across, consisting of those unemployed under Hoover, in 1931. The line would have gone from Los Angeles, across the country, to the border of Maine.
What effect did Roosevelt have on the line?
Well, eight years later, in 1939, the length of the line would have gone further, from the Maine border, south to Boston, then on to New York City, then to Philadelphia, on to Washington, D.C.- and finally, into Virginia.
Folsom, "New Deal or Raw Deal"
Think Folsom was wrong?
