Absolutely correct! Thanks for the reminder. Possibly our worst president ever - Woodrow Wilson and who do we have to thank for his presidency - John McCain's favorite - Teddy Roosevelt.
Speaking of which - here is a book for Gazoo to add to her reading list:

Before the 16th amendment (legalizing income tax) the federal government got 40% of its revenue from taxes on alcohol. The 16th amendment paved the way for the 18th, and the 17th sealed it by removing the check and balance of the State's representatives, leaving it to the masses to decide (reform minded progressives), with women rewarded with the 19th for being such supporters of Prohibition with their votes at the state level. But we all know Prohibition (which was at the hub of this first push at progressive minded reform) was an utter failure, leading to a bloom in criminalization and a destruction of family values (sound familiar?).
