    To quote FDR:

    In my Inaugural I laid down the simple proposition that nobody is going to starve in this country. It seems to me to be equally plain that no business which depends for existence on paying less than living wages to its workers has any right to continue in this country.

      We need an FDR. I’d take a modern Roosevelt. Any of them, assuming they keep up with the times (equality, similar).

      Any = FDR, Eleanor, Teddy
