FDR left for people the 2nd Bill of Rights.

To this day, 60 years later, it has been ignored by the Democratic leadership. Only a few Democrats derided as "far left" have been willing to champion the cause.

The War on Poverty is one war America didn't need to lose. If these ideas made FDR into a Social Democrat or even a Reformist Socialist, then maybe America should move toward the left for the sake of the poor.

Maybe America would benefit from more Social Democrats and Socialists in government.
