President Herbert Hoover.
It is an attempt to assure prosperity. Henry IV wished it for the peasants. A wish for food. (a chicken in every pot) The Republican party later used it but added "a car in every garage." Assuring not only prosperity but decadence.
President Herbert Hoover promised a chicken in every pot and a car in every garage, but Henry IV is credited with saying "I want there to be no peasant in my kingdom so poor that he is unable to have a chicken in his pot every Sunday", so maybe Hover just wanted to update this quote by adding the car in every garage.
His campaign slogan was "A Chicken in Every Pot, a Car in Every Garage."
every chicken in a pot every car in every garage was Herbert Hoover's 1928 campaign slogan. Reagan's 1980 slogan was "Are you better off than you were four years ago?"
During the 1928 Presidential race, Herbert Hoover ran under his famous slogan: "A chicken in every pot and a car in every garage." Clearly, the intended message was that he would bring about universal prosperity to Americans if he were to be elected. Ultimately, he was elected, but the economy suffered severely. The disillusioned public later mocked his promises by calling shanty towns erected by the homeless "Hoovervilles." Additionally, an empty pocket pulled completely out (illustrating the fact that they were so poor that they had nothing in their pockets) came to be known as a "Hoover flag."
