The Problem with Hoover:
- Hoover believes that the government should provide big businesses with money assuming that making the rich richer will help create more jobs for those who need them. But how do we know those companies wont just take the money and invest in themselves?
- Hoover also doesn't think about the consequences of his choices. A strike happened because he wouldn't agree to give the soldiers their bonus so they went on strike against Hoover, which resulted in him panicking and called the U.S. forces. People were gassed and a few were shot.
- He also believes that the government is not entitled to help those who struggle with supporting themselves or their families. "Survival of the Fittest"
