Prometheus said: Absolutely! Of course, having a middle-class President might be troublesome. I mean, instead of concentrating on allowing big corporations unfettered freedom, they might concentrate on improving the lives of their common man. And, I doubt many would think that's appropriate for the office of the President...
'Fraid so. I think that Teddy Roosevelt was the LAST President who actually broke up Trusts. He tried to change things, and to a degree, he was successful.
Sadly, most of the changes TR brought about during his 7 years or so in office were undone by his successor, Taft, and others.
