...Edward Bellamy, a 38-year-old New England journalist, published a book called Looking Backward. More than a million copies of it were sold. It stirred the U. S. and Europe. It was the story of a 19th Century man who went to sleep and woke up in the year 2000 and was shown what the world was like then. This marvelous book described radio and television.

It is this in the New Deal that I object to; it is this objection which any honest person should object to. It is the taxing of the bread and meat...
