redistribute income from the wealthy to poor americans
Huey Long disliked some aspects of the New Deal that Franklin D. Roosevelt implemented. He especially criticized the Emergency Banking Act because it ignored smaller banks and the National Recovery Act because it created wage and price codes. Long believed that Roosevelt did not redistribute the wealth in the country, so he launched the Share Our Wealth Society.

He wanted the country to control large fortunes so that all citizens could have a decent standard of living. Long disliked how a small population of the country controlled a majority of the wealth, so he proposed taxing incomes over one million dollars. Under his plan, as incomes went higher, tax rates would increase. Once a person had a fortune of $8 million, there would be a one hundred percent tax rate. All inheritances of more than $1 million would be taken away by the government. According to Long, this plan would allow families to live better and the government would have the money to improve education, pensions, and public projects.

Is there any voltage from a battery in an open circuit?

Voltage is a measure of electric 'push'. When there's nothing to push (no circuit) it has no meaning, but that isn't to say it isn't there. Just the same as if you push a car. Take the car away and your push goes away. (or does it?)
