Meaning of “No man should receive a dollar unless that…”
Roosevelt connects legitimate wealth with reciprocal service and fair earning, placing character and public obligation inside his broader argument about concentrated economic power.
Where does it come from?
The New Nationalism, August 31, 1910. The sentence occurs in Roosevelt’s argument for regulation and graduated taxation of large fortunes; it is historical political-economic rhetoric rather than modern financial advice.
