Perhaps Roosevelt's biggest critic was Senator Huey P. Long of Louisiana. Long was planning to challenge
Roosevelt for the presidency in 1936 until he was shot and killed by an assassin the year before the election. Senator Long was one of those critics who believed the New Deal had not gone far enough in its
efforts to help society. Instead of the New Deal, Long proposed what he called the "Share Our Wealth
program. The plan would guarantee a household income for each family in the United States, which would
be paid for by high taxes on the wealthiest Americans. Long in effect was planning to take from the rich to
give to the poor.
