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
Huey Long proposed that the US government should provide a "Share our Wealth" program. This program would tax the rich and give the tax money to the poor. This would guarantee every family in America an annual income of $5,000. On the other hand the American Liberty League thought that the New Deal laws gave the president too much authority.
