America is unique in history in that it was the first nation to be founded on the principle that individuals have rights, and that the only legitimate function of government was to protect those rights.
Too darn bad we've strayed so far from those ideals. In modern America, most people think you do have a right to the skills of doctors. I think that FDR was the first one to overtly change the definition of "rights" with his "Four Freedoms" state of the union message.
In the future days which we seek to make secure, we look forward to a world founded upon four essential human freedoms.The first is freedom of speech and expression --everywhere in the world.
The second is freedom of every person to worship God in his own way -- everywhere in the world.
The third is freedom from want, which, translated into world terms, means economic understandings which will secure to every nation a healthy peacetime life for its inhabitants --everywhere in the world.
The fourth is freedom from fear, which, translated into world terms, means a world-wide reduction of armaments to such a point and in such a thorough fashion that no nation will be in a position to commit an act of physical aggression against any neighbor --anywhere in the wold. That is no vision of a distant millennium. It is a definite basis for a kind of world attainable in our own time and generation. That kind of world is the very antithesis of the so-called "new order" of tyranny which the dictators seek to create with the crash of a bomb.
FDR slyly mixed in the false "right" to the labor of others in with valid rights like freedom of speech and worship. He also snuck in the false concept that governments have rights, and people do not.
