President Dwight
Eisenhower, Republican, November 8, 1954:
"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."
President Abraham
Lincoln, Republican, November 21, 1864:
"I see in the near future a crisis approaching
that unnerves me and causes me to tremble for the safety of my country
. . . . corporations have been enthroned and an era of corruption
in high places will follow, and the money power of the country will
endeavor to prolong its reign by working upon the prejudices of the
people until all wealth is aggregated in a few hands and the Republic
is destroyed."
President Franklin
D. Roosevelt, Democrat, September 29, 1936:
"Let me warn the nation against the smooth
evasion, which says: 'Of course we believe all these things. We believe
in Social Security; we believe in work for the unemployed; we believe
in saving homes. Cross our hearts and hope to die, we believe in all
these things; but we do not like the way the present administration
is doing them. Just turn them over to us. We will do all of them;
we will do more of them; we will do them better; and best of all,
the doing of them will not cost anybody anything."
Major General
Smedley D. Butler, USMC [Retired], 1935:
"War is a racket. It always has been.
It is possibly the oldest, easily the most profitable, surely the
most vicious. It is the only one international in scope. It is the
only one in which the profits are reckoned in dollars and the losses
in lives."
