Roosevelt 2012: one-third of a nation ill-housed, ill-clad, ill-nourished... and we're glad they are

[geefloyd46]

I see millions of families trying to live on incomes so meager that the pall of family disaster hangs over them day by day.

I see millions whose daily lives in city and on farm continue under conditions labeled indecent by a so-called polite society half a century ago.

I see millions denied education, recreation, and the opportunity to better their lot and the lot of their children.

I see millions lacking the means to buy the products of farm and factory and by their poverty denying work and productiveness to many other millions.

I see one-third of a nation ill-housed, ill-clad, ill-nourished.

2. Only half? It's my job as a voter to bring the lucky half down to my level.

But not the lucky .01% mind you.
