Something to think about...

We do not propose to say that there shall be no rich men. We do not ask to divide the wealth. We only propose that, when one man gets more than he and his children and children's children can spend or use in their lifetimes, that then we shall say that such person has his share. That means that a few million dollars is the limit to what any one man can own."

— Huey Long, Share Our Wealth radio address, February 23, 1934



I'm for the poor man — all poor men, black and white, they all gotta have a chance.
They gotta have a home, a job, and a decent education for their children. 'Every man a king' — that's my slogan." — Huey Long (T. Harry Williams, Huey Long, p. 706



They've got a set of Republican waiters on one side and a set of Democratic waiters on the other side, but no matter which set of waiters brings you the dish, the legislative grub is all prepared in the same Wall Street kitchen."

— Huey Long, campaign speech for the re-election of Senator Hattie Caraway (D-AR), 1932 (Williams p. 589)
