So naturally, the wheelers and dealers were dead set against the programs then, just as they continue to be today.
Two of the programs that the corporatists hated most was the Fair Labor Standards Act and the Social Security Act – again, two of the very same programs that are under attack today. Corporatists were against these programs from their very inception for exactly the same reasons they’re intensely hostile …[CONTINUED]
