"Socialism is a scare word they've hurled at every advance the people have made."

”Socialism is a scare word they've hurled at every advance the people have made. Socialism is what they called public power, social security, deposit insurance, and independent labor organizations. Socialism is their name for anything that helps all people.”
Harry Truman, 1952
