Although I don't disapprove of those two things, he also started federal environmentalism.

That's true, but it had relatively little effect on industry- certainly far less than environmental regulations today.

He did a lot of socialistic things too, like get involved in labor disputes and bust trusts.

Wall Street conservatives approved of his limited trust busting, since breaking up "illegal" combinations was good for business. TR was strongly supported by business in 1904, despite the fact that Parker was a proven conservative.

Your statement is true, insofar that Wall Street's bottom line is profit, which comes before ideology.

And what could be more capitalistic than that?
