Thanks to Woodrow Wilson, the U.S.'s worst president. He also gave us the income tax, the federal reserve, the UN (league of nations was the forerunner), alphabet soup of federal government buracracies and WWI (to bail out J.P. Morgan who was long British war bonds) which begat WWII.

Never heard this before. Do you get your historical info from the same source as your bad economic info?

Although Wilson supported the income tax, the amendment was proposed by Congress in 1909 while Taft was president.

Taft and Teddy Roosevelt, both Republicans, also supported the 16th and 17th Amendments.

Sorry. Wilson isn't even in the conversation with Clinton, Carter, FDR and Lyndon Johnson....
