Read the excerpt from a 1934 radio address by Huey Long, a senator from Louisiana to answer the question.Choose the highlighted example that best summarizes Long's plan for how to fight eliminate poverty.We do not propose to divide it up equally. We do not propose a division of wealth, but we propose to limit poverty that we will allow to be inflicted upon any man's family. We will not say we are going to try to guarantee any equality or $15,000 to families. No; but we do say that one third of the average is low enough for any one family to hold, that there should be a guarantee of a family wealth of around $5,000; enough for a home, an automobile, a radio, and the ordinary conveniences, and the opportunity to educate their children; a fair share of the income of this land thereafter to that family so there will be no such thing as merely the select to have those things, and so there will be no such thing as a family living in poverty and distress.We have to limit fortunes. Our present plan is that we will allow no one man to own more than $50 million...We will limit hours of work. There is not any necessity of having overproduction. I think all you have to do ladies and gentlemen, is just limit the hours of work to such an extent as people will work only so long as is necessary to produce enough for all of the people to have what they need....Those are the things we propose to do. "Every man a king." Every man to eat when there is something to eat; all to wear something when there is something to wear. That makes us all sovereign.
