Education
Rose was highly in favor of the centralized education movement and establishing national standards for education. He was also a proponent of school choice, which many criticized was was contradictory to his views on centralized education. He was seen as highly elitist, having been educated in elite schools, born into wealth and handed down an extremely successful and wealthy company. While he supported centralized education, school-choice meant parents could choose to send their children to schools that didn't fall under those national standards. Many criticized Rose's position as "rules for thee, not for me"
Business freedom
He lifted anti-monopoly laws and restrictions on exporting
Intellectualism and meritocracy
Rose was heavily criticized throughout his career for being elitist. His campaign for president was propped up by experts in their fields and highly educated intellectuals.
