I'm watching The Roosevelts on PBS right now and it amazing how little has changed since T.R. and F.D.R. Then, as now, a small cabal of rich motherfuckers is trying to manipulate the government for their own benefit. They had succeeded before Teddy came along and they are succeeding again. Until people wake up to what they are doing "capitalism" will remain a very effective...if criminal...form of 'government' even if it is nothing but a smokescreen for greed.
Watched some of the PBS series about the Roosevelts, Teddy certainly was pro labor, but flirted with selling the idea of ending the separation of powers. If you already have the foxes guarding the hen house the last thing you do is consolidate them even more.
