    Franklin Delano Roosevelt had many political adversaries and critics.

    Rich people resented FDR's high taxes for rich Americans to finance his social welfare policies that benefited the poor; they said he had "betrayed" his own social class - he was born in a wealthy family. The Supreme Court was a formidable adversary of many FRD policies; judges estimated the presidency has abused its power by imposing on states some federal regulations and that some New Deal programs were declared unconstitutional. Others, like the Catholic priest Charles Coughlin, accused him of being "anti-God." Coughling and Frances Townsed wanted FDR to give more money to the lower classes. Huey Long, a populist leftist senator, attacked him for "not doing enough" for the poor.
