If good cards do not come to any man, or if they do come, and he has not got the power to play them, that is his affair. All I mean is that there shall be no crookedness in the dealing.” - 1905 • His goal was not to provide a safety net for the poor but to make sure big business did not take advantage of those smaller than they.
