Both men talked about the unbalanced distribution of power and wealth during the hard times of the Great Depression
Those that opposed were Republicans, Father Coughlin and Huey Long.
Father Coughlin, Dr. Townsend, and Senator Huey Long disliked different aspects of the New Deal for different reasons. Father Coughlin criticized it for not doing enough to address the power of big banks and corporations. Dr. Townsend believed the New Deal did not adequately address the needs of older Americans. Senator Huey Long was critical of the New Deal for not going far enough in redistributing wealth and called for a more radical wealth redistribution program.

Huey's Father's Day - 1959 was released on: USA: 8 May 1959
Coughlin's term for his platform was Social Justice (also the name of his published newspaper). Father Charles Coughlin (1891-1979) was a Catholic priest and prominent radio personality of the 1930s. He became a critic of free enterprise, capitalism, and big business, espousing a socialist and quasi-fascist agenda (which resembled to some degree the populist platform of Huey P. Long). Coughlin called for guaranteed employment and income, wealth redistribution, protection of unions, and nationalized control of businesses and corporate assets by the government. Simultaneously wary of his influence (either as fascist, anti-Semitic, socialist, or communist), FDR sought to restrict Coughlin's radio broadcasts, which was finally accomplished during World War II through a deal struck with Coughlin's superior, the archbishop of Detroit.
