madskillz said: He made the statement, but he lost the election, so he was never able to do what he suggested. I do think the more I watch McCain, the more I see him as a man not in control. He is losing it fast. Due to that, I can not see Palin at the next pres. I would buy Kevlar for me and my fam, some MP5s and tons of ammo to defend myself. Why? We are gonna be phucked.

The only problem I have with the assertion that Hoover wanted to make the "rich even more rich" is that it is antithetical to his views. In his inauguration speech, Hoover advocated a “kindler, gentler” form of capitalism that spread the benefits more evenly amongst the population. He was often critical of laissez-faire economics for their perceived negative effect on the less fortunate. If Roosevelt is seen as the progressive who championed the poor and the working class, I would have to say the same for Hoover. Roosevelt’s policies were basically a continuation and an expansion of Hoover’s policies. In fact, Hoover’s opponent in 1928, Al Smith, accused Hoover of being a “radical” who would increase spending and so on.
