The Share the Wealth program, initiated by Louisiana Senator Huey Long in the 1930s, aimed to address economic inequality during the Great Depression. It proposed to redistribute wealth by implementing a cap on personal fortunes, taxing the wealthy heavily, and using the revenue to provide financial support, education, and healthcare for the poor. The program sought to ensure that all Americans had access to basic necessities and opportunities for a better quality of life. Long's vision emphasized social justice and economic reform to combat poverty.

Business ethics is an oxymoron. The primary duty of a corporation or business is to increase share holder wealth by any means necessary. This explains why Halliburton is now located in Dubai, Trans Ocean in Switzerland and Tyco in Bermuda. These parasites are loyal to no nation and only follow ethics when they coincide with their primary mission: increase profits and share holder wealth.
