The hoarders of wealth have destroyed humanity by millions in their quest for greater accumulation.
― Huey P. Long, Every Man A King: The Autobiography Of Huey P. Long
Not a single thin dime of concentrated, bloated, pompous wealth, massed in the hands of a few people, has been raked down to relieve the masses.
— Huey Long in 1934 on the first New Deal of 1933 (Williams p. 708)
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)
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
Whenever this administration has gone to the left I have voted for it, and whenever it has gone to the right I have voted against it.
