The craggy-faced Virginian who became a leading political scientist and university president; the celebrated governor of New Jersey who, as president, led the nation to victory in World War I, is faulted for the income tax, the Federal Reserve, bureaucrats, socialists, eugenics, and even the rise of Nazism.
The first graduated income tax was established under Abraham Lincoln in 1862. And the first Central Bank was chartered in 1791 by Alexander Hamilton in the administration of George Washington.
Does that mean Honest Abe and the Father of our Country are next on the tea partiers' list?
