You forgot the great Ponzi/hidden tax scheme called Social Security that still blights the economy.

It's clear what FDR thought of the Constitution, and it really is a wonder that FDR just didn't declare it "inoperative."

"... dirtiest of dirty machine politics ; illegal price controls and the unbounded expansion of government ; higher taxes ; partially responsible for destruction of the gold standard and replacement of sound currency with fiat currency ; lengthened the depression by his tax policies.", Not defending FDR, but the above could fit Nixon pretty well too --- maybe even better.
