Here's an interesting prediction by Dwight Eisenhower dug up by David Sirota: "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 other
Texas oil millionaires, and an occasional politician or business man from other
areas. Their number is negligible and they are stupid."
