"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 believe you can do these things. Among them are a few Texas oil millionaires, and an occasional politician or business man from other areas. Their number is negligible and they are stupid."
-- President Dwight D. Eisenhower, 1954 Footnote for those who believe that this quote is too perfect to be true: Eisenhower Presidential Papers, Document #1147, November 8, 1954. The Papers of Dwight David Eisenhower, Volume XV, Part VI, Chapter 13: "A new phase of political experience." |
