Should any political party attempt to abolish social security unemployment insurance and eliminate labor laws and farm programs you would not hear of that party again in our political history. There is a tiny splinter group of course that believes you can do these things. Among them are a few other Texas oil millionaires and an occasional politician or business man from other areas. Their number is negligible and they are stupid. .Dwight D. Eisenhower
About This Quote
Social Security and unemployment insurance are the programs that help Americans get back on their feet after hard times. Labor laws and farm programs protect the rights of citizens to earn an honest living and stay healthy. These programs support our workforce and our economy all while keeping our country strong. Texas oil billionaires and a few other people from out of state, however, believe quite the contrary.
They believe in a world where everyone has a chance at success regardless of their background or circumstances. They believe they can make an honest living through any means necessary, even if it involves lying, cheating, or stealing from the rest of us.
