The next time a democrat gets harpy, whinging about how “the republican party has become too extreme”, someone should point out to them that the GOP “extremism” is pulled straight out of the democrat party platform of 1932!
And conservatives need to take note as well. We have been compromising with STOOPID for so long we have abandoned the right and are being led by the trunk down the road of historical liberal FAILURE. GOOD GRIEF.
QUOTE:
“
We favor maintenance of the national credit by a federal budget annually balanced on the basis of accurate executive estimates within revenues, raised by a system of taxation levied on the principle of ability to pay.
We advocate a sound currency to be preserved at all hazards and an international monetary conference called on the invitation of our government to consider the rehabilitation of silver and related questions.
We advocate a competitive tariff for revenue with a fact-finding tariff commission free from executive interference, reciprocal tariff agreements with other nations, and an international economic conference designed to restore international trade and facilitate exchange.
We favor the restoration of agriculture, the nation's basic industry; better financing of farm mortgages through recognized farm bank agencies at low rates of interest on an amortization plan, giving preference to credits for the redemption of farms and homes sold under foreclosure.
Extension and development of the Farm co-operative movement and effective control of crop surpluses so that our farmers may have the full benefit of the domestic market.
The enactment of every constitutional measure that will aid the farmers to receive for their basic farm commodities prices in excess of cost.
We advocate a Navy and an Army adequate for national defense, based on a survey of all facts affecting the existing establishments, that the people in time of peace may not be burdened by an expenditure fast approaching a billion dollars annually.
We advocate strengthening and impartial enforcement of the anti-trust laws, to prevent monopoly and unfair trade practices, and revision thereof for the better protection of labor and the small producer and distributor.
The conservation, development, and use of the nation's water power in the public interest.
The removal of government from all fields of private enterprise except where necessary to develop public works and natural resources in the common interest.”
