FDR was a socialist/communist -- and FDR was an idiot.

And so is anyone who thinks FDR did anything except turn a market crash and 3 year recession into a decade long depression.

FDR raised the marginal tax rate from 25% to 94% at the end of WWII. You may as well not work and take the free pies at those confiscatory rates. History is your friend.

Did Willkie or Dewey point out how FDR killed private initiative? I don’t remember reading what they said, other than “Me Too!”
