Russell Long was a more respected and respectful person than his dad or his uncle Earl.

....Long introduction

[@sandrabbitlane]

Shameless apology to sell a book. Long never served the poor, but he did raise their taxes in the midst of hard times.

We create wealth in America, we don’t redistribute it. Huey Long did nothing to increase wealth creation. In fact, Louisiana remained in a depression and mostly uneducated in the first half of the 20th century. It was oil and gas and big business that created the wealth to elevate Louisiana in the second half of the 20th century.

[@scuddyleblanc5119]

Huey Long’s impact on Louisiana is overrated because his policies discouraged businesses who were in Louisiana, or thinking of coming to Louisiana. I doubt if Long had any idea of how to build an economy. He was strictly like Bernie Sanders or Barack Obama creating resentment against standard oil and big big business for political gain.

Exactly. That's why Long kept winning elections because he didn't help people.
