President Dwight D. Eisenhower, 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 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."
