Huey Long to barnstorm for share-the-wealth plan
Huey Long plans a nationwide speaking tour to promote his share-the-wealth program with old age pensions unemployment insurance and child welfare provisions as alternatives to Roosevelt's security scheme. He would tax fortunes over a million dollars and cap wealth at five to six million with levies up to 99 percent, drawing Republican and Democratic opposition. Roosevelt focuses on isolating Long as a single figure while using court and NRA issues to curb left influence. A filibuster attempt weakens Huey's Senate standing and sympathy among colleagues fades.
