This guy planted the intellectual seeds of statist ruin we harvest today.

In just one administration we went from defensive war to offensive war. From no central bank to The Federal Reserve. And we got ourselves involved in a war we had no business being in, and helped shape the post-war defeat so that a second war was inevitable. He was big into labor unions. He had the government take over railroads. He started a wave of anti-German bigotry (what, you mean Progressives can be bigoted too??) He was one of the organizers for the League of Nations, and wanted the LoN to be able to unilaterally bring the US military into a war. He started the FTC. He started the Income Tax.

If you want the antithesis of a Calvin Coolidge or a Thomas Jefferson or a George Washington ...... look no further. This guy was FAR worse than even FDR.

You can blame a lot of stuff on Wilson, but the income tax isn't one of them. It (16th Amendment) was ratified before he took office. First states to ratify were in 1909, with most coming in 1911. It reached the requisite 3/4 of states in February of 1913. Wilson was inaugurated for his first term in March, 1913.
