• We can spend our way to prosperity
• To strengthen the weak, we need to weaken the strong
• The best way to help laborers is to place controls and penalties on the employers
• Only by group identification can the poor ever gain an advantage over the rich
• Heavy taxation of the rich will solve the problems of the poor
• Deficit spending will solve our problems
• Only team players have courage and good character
• If you help people enough, they will eventually do what they could have done for themselves all along
