"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 H. L. Hunt (you possibly know his
background), a few other Texas oil millionaires and an occasional politician or
business man from other areas. Their number is negligible and they are
stupid." (President Eisenhower, writing to his brother Edgar in 1954.)
