Interesting comments, folks. It's maybe time to research Huey Long. Any thoughts on where to start?

A good question, especially since most materials about The Kingfish were written by his enemies.

I suppose one could start here:

Well, historically the last time the rich were taken down was the 1929 crash. Remember Hoover refused to intervene, believing the free market would correct itself. Obviously many working folks were hurt much worse than the rich. We need an FDR (who ironically was from the wealthy class). Huey Long … um wasn’t he assassinated?

Huey Long was assassinated. Long also was one of the people who convinced Team D to extend the nomination to FDR.

"That’s the only choice. The question is, how to do we force a change?

There are any number of ways, some legal, some less so, to force change on a culture, on society."

The time for a Trump or a Sanders is long past. If anything will save us, keeping in mind who writes the laws and who enacts the policies, it is a Huey P. Long.
