President Dwight D. Eisenhower,
1952
"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 that you can do these things.
Among them are a few Texas oil millionaires, and an occasional
politician or businessman from other areas. Their number is negligible
and they are stupid."
