The major elements of Senator Long's plan include: every family to obtain a home allowance that was free of debt and above one-third the standard family prosperity of the country and a limit on the working hours to avoid overproduction. Other plans entailed a yearly income of not below one-third of the standard family income, a balance on agricultural production, remuneration of war veterans, pension to people over sixty, equal education for all children and reduction of wealth from the top to support the program.

      The poor and disadvantaged people stood to gain from Long’s plans as he mainly advocated for equal distribution of wealth among all. Most of the poor people suffered due to lack of access to basic commodities that the rich people accumulated at the top. However, the millionaires and multimillionaires would have been hurt by this plan as their wealth would be reduced significantly and it would impact their daily lives.
