      Yeah his cousin was better, but the Roosevelt family was really good for America. Well, the united states, Teddy, was more mixed for the rest of the hemisphere. Both of them were rare in that they understood that capitalism was in danger if left to its own devices. Now I’m not grateful they kept capitalism going, but they curbed its excesses and made life better for the average person.
