Using the bully pulpit, Theodore Roosevelt did a lot in office to try to alleviate the inequity in the mid 1900s. He organized the Progressive party in 1912, proposed the Square Deal, used the Sherman Antitrust Act to distinguish between "good" and "bad" corporations and prosecute them under the act (trust-busting if you will). He also believed that the president's office should serve as an honest broker for laborers instead of siding with the employer during strikes and times of unrest and he called for heavy taxes on personal and corporate fortunes.
