Question

Select the correct answer.

Read paragraph 9.
(9) We do not propose to divide it up equally. We do not propose a division of wealth, but we propose to limit poverty that we will allow to
be inflicted upon any man's family. We will not say we are going to try to guarantee any equality, or $15,000 to families. No; but we do say
that one third of the average is low enough for any one family to hold, that there should be a guaranty of a family wealth of around
$5,000; enough for a home, an automobile, a radio, and the ordinary conveniences, and the opportunity to educate their children; a fair
share of the income of this land thereafter to that family so there will be no such thing as merely the select to have those things, and so
there will be no such thing as a family living in poverty and distress....
