Who said, "The welfare of each of us is dependent fundamentally on the welfare of all of us, and ...."?

President Theodore Roosevelt was quoted as saying, "The welfare of each of us is dependent fundamentally upon the welfare of all of us, and ...." These words were said by the president on April 5, 1905. He directly delivered his Square Deal speech in Dallas, Texas, where he laid out his philosophy to help all sections, classes, and individuals who would work for the common good of the country.

Because of corporate special interest groups and the things that they were doing in America, President Theodore Roosevelt, a progressive Republican, introduced a platform based on a few simple ideas that would become known as the Square Deal.

In Roosevelt's America, people lived in a world where the richest businessmen and businesses were marketed as “good,” capable of doing no wrong, and all government was marketed as “bad.” In that world, government existed only for the purpose of business owners and people were told that they should just sit back and let the benefits trickle down. Only they did not. In fact, the opposite happened. The rich got richer and more powerful at the expense of everyone else.

Roosevelt worked very hard to change the way Americans lived and would live in the United States of America.
