The right of every businessman, large and small, to trade in an atmosphere of freedom from unfair competition and domination by monopolies at home or abroad;
Though not expressly in the constitution we are already protected from monopolies and unfair competition within the united states. I don't see the need to put it in the constitution. |

How about the right to a decent home? Seems reasonable, right? Why would we not want to guarantee that? Or the right to a useful and remunerative job?

No. I don't know what great debate you think you are stirring up here, but nobody is proposing those provisions be added to the Constitution.

You're welcome not to answer, of course. Just say, "I don't want to answer," or don't post at all. Simple.

If people thought they should be in the Constitution, they would propose them to be in the Constitution. Nobody has. Problem solved.

Nice circular logic. Just don't answer next time.

It certainly is. "No one's talking about it, so we shouldn't talk about it."
EDIT: After further thought, I will note ... your lame circular logic aside, your response is interestingly reflective of the modern left. Back in FDR's day it was accepted that to have these rights, a Constitutional amendment would be necessary. Today, that's no longer so. Instead, the idea is to appoint liberal judges who will just read into the Constitution whatever right du jour you happen to want. Much easier to circumvent the democratic process that way.
