No we can’t all agree.
Teddy Roosevelt was a Progressive.
He strongly argued for greater government control over the economy.
His Congress created the Bureau of Corporations which eventually became the Federal Trade Commission. TR was a trust buster.
He called for a graduated income tax and inheritance taxes.
Roosevelt declared the idea of natural rights was scientifically wrong and morally obsolete. He believed humans could progress beyond their selfish individualism.
TR believed that the right of property could be justified only if it benefited the community, and wealth must be redistributed. Government is not just about the rule of law but was about bringing “social justice” to the citizenry.
TR evolved to embrace the idea of a “living Constitution.”
Denied the Republican nomination of 1912, Roosevelt ran for president under the Progressive Party ticket. Enough said.
I would trade TR on Mount Rushmore for Calvin Coolidge any and every time.
He moved left after he left the White House and bought into a lot of the ideas that he didn't have during his presidency.
That natural rights thing is bad, but it was pretty typical of his generation.
It was part the influence of Darwin and Hegel, part the fear of popular upheavals like the French Revolution.
