 Between the Wars: FDR Under Fire
Although there has been much dispute about Weiss's motives (or even whether he actually killed Long), the doctor's in laws were political opponents of Long and the Kingfish had circulated (untrue) rumors about "Negro blood" in their family.
In this April 1935 radio address, Senator Huey Long sharply criticizes FDR and the New Deal and then sketches out his alternative program to "share our wealth" by limiting the size of fortunes and incomes and then redistributing the excess to provide a minimum income, a homestead for all, and old-age pensions for the elderly.
Writing in the New Republic of February 1935, Hodding Carter, a Louisiana newspaper editor, warns that Long has turned his home state into a "dictatorship" and that his promises of sharing the wealth are nothing but vote-getting schemes.

It was in the Senate that Long began to develop a national reputation, much of which grew from his proposed "Share Our Wealth" program.
This plan was intended as a solution to the hardships brought on America by the Great Depression that had begun in 1929; it involved, as its name suggests, a government-directed redistribution of assets taking from the rich and giving to the poor and middle class.
Long proposed confiscation of individual wealth over 50 million dollars, which would provide a guaranteed minimum income of five thousand dollars per year to the poor.
