... We look forward to a world founded upon four essential human freedoms. The first is freedom of speech and expression... The second is freedom of every person to worship God in his own way... The third is freedom from want... The fourth is freedom from fear everywhere in the world...We should bring more citizens under the coverage of old-age pensions and unemployment insurance. We should widen the opportunities for adequate medical care. We should plan a better system by which persons deserving or needing gainful employment may obtain it...
If there is a sincere desire to change inner-city culture, start by creating programs whereby each person "deserving or needing gainful employment" has the ability to obtain it. Then watch what happens.
