'''Huey Long ''' was an American Democratic politician from [[Louisiana ]] during the late twenties to the mid thirties. He was the [[governor ]] of Louisiana from 1928-1932 and [[U.S. Senator|Senator ]] from Louisiana from 1932-1935.

While Senator, Huey Long originally supported the [[New Deal ]] program, but later he recanted his support for it. He wanted [[Franklin Roosevelt|President Roosevelt ]] to implement a "Share Our Wealth" program in which no American could have a personal fortune of more than $5,000,000, receive an income of greater than $1,000,000, or receive an inheritance of over $5,000,000. Any money earned after this would be divvied up and supposedly families would receive $2,000 to $2,500.

Huey Long's book, ''My First Days in the White House'', was published posthumously.
