Neither Teddy Roosevelt nor I would solve the problem of plutocracy and increasing corporatism by merely "taxing the rich." That's not a solution by itself. Look at TR's call for government regulation -- not bigger government, more effective government.
I want to talk here about more effective government, about fundamental reforms, about taxing the rich, about throwing the special interests out of government, and I want to provide a quick guide to this week's Time magazine feature on Theodore Roosevelt.
