More From Theodore Roosevelt

Consumption is the sole end and purpose of all production; and the interest of the producer ought to be attended to only so far as it may be necessary for promoting that of the consumer. the maxim is so perfectly self-evident that it would be absurd to attempt to prove it. but in the mercantile system the interest of the consumer is almost constantly sacrificed to that of the producer; and it seems to consider production, and not consumption, as the ultimate end and object of all industry and commerce.

It is our duty not to not only hold fast, but to hold forth the word of life; not only to hold fast for our own benefit, but to hold it forth for the benefit of others, to hold it forth as the candlestick holds forth the candle, which makes it appear to advantage all around, or as the luminaries of the heavens, which shed their influences far and wide.

Here's another way of putting it. roosevelt wants recovery to start at the bottom. in other words, by a system of high taxes, he wants business to help the little fellow to get started and get some work, and then pay business back by buying things when he's at work. business says, 'let everybody alone. let business alone, and quit monkeying with us, and we'll get everything going for you, and if we prosper, naturally the worker will prosper.'
Recovery Buying Things Politics
We wish to control big business so as to secure among other things good wages for the wage-workers and reasonable prices for the consumers. wherever in any business the prosperity of the business man is obtained by lowering the wages of his workmen and charging an excessive price to the consumers we wish to interfere and stop such practices. we will not submit to that kind of prosperity any more than we will submit to prosperity obtained by swindling investors or getting unfair advantages over business rivals.

The producer can put something together, package it, oversee it, give input. i'm the kind of producer that likes to take a back seat and let the director run with it. if he needs me, i'm there for him. as a director, i like to have the producer there with me. as a producer, i don't want to be there because i happen to be a director first and foremost, i don't want to "that guy."
