In 1936, FDR closed out his re-election campaign by bragging to a massive crowd at Madison Square Garden that “organized money” hated him “and I welcome their hatred.” He took 60% of the vote in a 523-8 electoral college landslide. FDR knew having the right enemies could be a useful thing.

Louis Brandeis said that we can either have democracy in this country or we can have great wealth concentrated in the hands of the few, but we cannot have both. In 1933. He said it in 1933.
