When you look about Four Freedoms park, actually look up what those four freedoms were,especially freedom from want.

"Equality of opportunity for youth and for others.

Jobs for those who can work.

Security for those who need it.

The ending of special privilege for the few.

The preservation of civil liberties for all.

The enjoyment -- The enjoyment of the fruits of scientific progress in a wider and constantly rising standard of living."

You do not match this standard, not that many do, but you are the one draping yourself in FDR's mantle.
