Read the quotation from Huey Long in which he speaks out against the New Deal. "You are giving a little man a biscuit to eat, and you put a barrel of flour more taxes on top of his head to carry."

Based on Long’s quote, which would be the best rebuttal to his claim that the New Deal programs were not benefiting Americans?

It is the duty of the government to feed its citizens, even if it needs to increase taxes to do so.
The government should be responsible for giving citizens large quantities of food to eat.
It should be the government’s duty to ensure that citizens are fed without increasing taxes.
The government places too much burden on the poor and not enough burden on the wealthy.

The correct answer is C) It should be the government’s duty to ensure that citizens are fed without increasing taxes.

The best rebuttal to his claim that the New Deal programs were not benefiting Americans would be "It should be the government’s duty to ensure that citizens are fed without increasing taxes."

Let's remember that the United States was living difficult economic moments due to the Great Depression when Franklin D. Roosevelt became the new President of the US. He was very aware of the harsh economic situation and that is why, one of his first actions as the US President was to create the New Deal, a series of economic programs to help poor people and the US citizens that were unemployed after the stock market crash of October 1929, that initiated the US Great Depression and left millions of people without a job.
