The once and probably not future Republicans

The Coffee Party posted the following on Facebook:

"We can do nothing of good in the way of regulating and supervising these corporations until we fix clearly in our minds that we are not attacking the corporations, but endeavoring to do away with any evil in them. We are not hostile to them; we are merely determined that they shall be so handled as to subserve the public good. We draw the line against misconduct, not against wealth." - Theodore "Teddy" Roosevelt, 26th President of the United States of America

I added the comment, "Give me that old-time Republican!!"

I might add that "public good" is used 25 times in the Federalist Papers, many times more than "profit" or "corporation", both of which have multiple meanings.
