Yup, nobody listened to Franklin Roosevelt. People are wondering why people voted for Trump. Duh! If you deprive people of economic opportunities, they elect demagogues!

True individual freedom cannot exist without economic security and independence. People who are hungry and out of a job are the stuff of which dictatorships are made.

  • Franklin Roosevelt

Take it from the man who saw the rise of totalitarianism!
