Well, I think Woodrow Wilson was a bigtime troublemaker. He was responsible for the lousy “peace” arrangements that eventually led to World War II. And he was also responsible for the League of Nations. And he was responsible for authorizing the Federal Reserve System, which has put a gang of criminal statists in charge of our fiat paper money.
But I can’t fault him for arresting Eugene V. Debs, who was essentially a Communist. So, these guys think Woodrow Wilson wasn’t far enough to the left? Personally, I think of him as the forerunner of FDR and LBJ.
Let's not forget a few more of Wilson's "accomplishments".
He ran for his second term as President on "he kept us out of war." How's that hope and change working for you?
The Federal Income Tax was enacted under Wilson (although proposed before he assumed the office)... I think it started out at a very low rate of something like 5% max. So, I guess, we can blame "unintended consequences".
Direct election of Senators enacted during Wilson's first term (although proposed before he assumed the office)... That's worked out well.
Prohibition became the law of the land and a Constitutional Amendment proposed and enacted during his time in office. How's that hope and change working???
And we saw Women's Suffrage become a constitutional amendment... no comment there...
I agree with you though -- he was a trouble maker and he showed what an elitist "intellectual" could do with the power of the presidency which FDR would exploit big time 12 years later. And now we see where that logical progression may be headed.
