Emory’s Reviews > American Dreamer: The Life and Times of Henry A. Wallace > Status Update

One day I will finish this book!

"The path Henry Wallace had in mind included full employment, assistance to small businessmen, federal housing and health insurance, a guaranteed annual wage, strengthened old-age benefits, control of monopolies, and other progressive measures."

Look at what we could have had!!

"A liberal is a person who in all his actions is continuously asking, 'What is best for all the people - not merely what is best for me personally?'... Christ was the greatest liberal of all when he put life before things."

Adding Henry Wallace to my ever growing list of dead old white men that I love dearly.

"The American Fascists are most easily recognized by their deliberate perversion of truth and fact... They claim to be super-patriots, but they would destroy every liberty guaranteed by the Constitution. Their final objective... is to capture political power, so that... they may keep the common man in eternal subjection".

Crazy how a statement in the 1940s is still absolutely true today.
