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.



Wow, Wall Street aproved!
That just changed my whole mind about it!





Don't be fooled, Wall Street are a bunch of corporatists who ahve no more itnerest in capitalism than FDR.

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?

*sigh*
Capitalism cannot cohexist with corporatism, even becuase corporations are nothing more than an artificial creation of the state made to protect management from being personally responsible for damange they cause to people.
Big business has since long resoirted to state manipulation of teh markets in order to be protected from competition.
the most glaring example is the Detroid cartel of Auto Industry, which consistently donates money to legislators who put in place regulations to the auto industry. Suicidal behavious you may think.
But alas, they, multinational billin dollar companies have no trouble matching those regulations. But would be competitors, have their enrance in the market forever made impossible.
