He led, but his leadership was poor.

Internationalism was not a foreign concept to America before Wilson.

Interestingly, the person coming most strongly to Wilson's defense is an R, not a D.

I believe the Antitrust Act and the income tax were the only good things he did. Monopolies are no good for the free market, and the income tax helped reduce the need for tariffs.


As a libertarian, you should know better than to support breaking up successful ventures, unless they fix prices or other such behaviour.

I take more of a moderate stance on economic matters. In that instance, I suppose I'm a bad libertarian Smiley
Supporting slavery a.k.a. the income tax makes you not a libertarian at all.

That mentality is what prevents libertarianism from ever becoming viable. You have to be open to a big tent like the two major parties, to accomplish any of your goals at all. It's called compromise.

Libertarians necessarily must accept the non-aggression principle as inviolable. Robbery at gunpoint, by any name, is clearly a violation.

Income tax>sales tax>property tax

Huh?  Class has nothing to do with what I wrote.  I as expressing an opinion as to which form of taxation I think is preferable.
