The previous one - or - in the picture is not Lev Zinovych of Khalis, but Huey Long California 2026. Louisiana 1935 The current California referendum on the introduction of a heavy one-time tax on the rich is not something unique to the United States. If something has already happened in someone's history, it can always come back. By the way, several other states in America are now thinking of introducing a "California tax". But what and who was the forerunner of this? Let us consider the largely successful attempt of Louisiana Senator and Governor Huey Long, who might (if he had not been shot) rise to power in the United States in 1936. *** "There is no dictatorship in Louisiana. There is a perfect democracy there, and it is difficult to distinguish between a perfect democracy and a dictatorship."
So said America's idol of the 1930s, Louisiana Senator Huey Long (1893-1935). Long, who came to power with slogans of almost American National Socialism. He founded the Share Our Wealth movement with more than 7.5 million supporters and was expected to win the 1936 presidential election, long before F.D. Roosevelt. Huey Long relied on the agro-oil state of Louisiana. The bulk of Louisiana's population was made up of farmers who did not get even a crumb from the "boom-boom" of the 1920s and who were hit hardest by the Great Depression that broke out in 1929. Louisiana hated the Standard Oil monopoly corporation, which siphoned money from the state. What wave did Long ride when he became governor of Louisiana in 1928 and also a senator in 1930? He introduced the slogan: "Every man is a king" and proposed the idea of a fair distribution of the wealth. Let's open Benjamin Lann's work "The United States from World War I to II" (1947) and we will find that Long proposed dividing property so that the poorest family in America would have property worth at least $5,000 and then a dollar (more than a hundred thousand in today's dollars).
