"A monthly check to you"
Description
An account of the resource
The Social Security Act of 1935 started a national old-age pension for workers who earned wages. This meant that at age 65 these workers could retire and receive monthly payments from the government. To pay for this program, workers and employers each paid money into the fund. The Social Security Board distributed this poster in 1936 and 1937 to publicize and explain this new program.

<p>President Roosevelt signed the Social Security Act into law in 1935. Social Security is a federal government program that takes money out of working people’s paychecks and creates a fund that gives that money to the elderly when they retire, or stop working. Social Security is also a form of protection; if an adult gets sick and cannot work, or if a working family member dies his/her family can get money from Social Security. Workers had to have money taken out of their paychecks during their working lives in order to be eligible to receive social security payments when they retired or became ill. In the 1930s, most Americans supported Social Security because they saw it as insurance that they bought with the taxes that were taken out of their own paychecks. However, some people opposed Social Security because they did not want the government to take money away from them and give it to unemployed or poor people. Originally, not all jobs and workers qualified for Social Security. For example, maids and farm workers, jobs typically held by women and African Americans, did not pay into and could not receive money from Social Security. Today, Social Security includes more jobs and people than it did in the 1930s, and is the most important retirement system in the United States.</p>

<p>Jan 18., 1937</p>
<p>[Dear Mrs. Roosevelt]</p>
<p>I . . . was simply astounded to think that anyone could be [foolish] enough to wish to be included in the so called social security act if they could possibly avoid it. Call it by any name you wish it, in my opinion, (and that of many people I know) is nothing but downright stealing. . . .</p>
<p>Personally, I had my savings so invested that I would have had a satisfactory provision for old age. Now thanks to his [FDR’s] desire to "get" the utilities I cannot be sure of anything, being a stockholder, as after business has survived his merciless attacks (if it does) insurance will probably be no good either. . . .</p>
<p>Then the president tells [businesses] they should hire more men and work shorter hours so that the laborers, who are getting everything now raises etc. can have a "more abundant life." That simply means taking it from the rest of us in the form of taxes or otherwise. . . .</p>
<p>Believe me, the only thing we want from the president ... is for him to balance the budget and reduce taxes. That, by the way, is a "mandate from the people" that isn’t getting much attention.</p>
<p>I am not an "economic royalist," just an ordinary white collar worker at $1600 per [year]. Please show this to the president and ask him to remember the wishes of the forgotten man, that is, the one who dared to vote against him. We expect to be tramped on but we do wish the stepping would be a little less hard.</p>
<p>Security at the price of freedom is never desired by intelligent people.</p>
<p>M.A. [female]</p>

Description
An account of the resource
The Great Depression cut childhoods short as poverty and unemployment soared. Young people struggled to stay healthy. Millions moved--sometimes with their families, sometimes on their own--in search of jobs. Many found relief in New Deal programs after 1933. Student activism also rose during the period. Throughout the period, as this film documents, American notions of childhood were challenged and changed in response to the crises of the 1930s.
