WTF is a "just economy'?

Woodrow was not able to amend the Constitution. The President cannot amend the Constitution. He certainly proposed and supported the idea though.

That said, it was the States the so amended the Constitution to include income taxes, and not until . Of course, the way the IRS is set up now, taxes are NOT uniform across the States, thus violating Article I, $8. The wealthy are paying income taxes while people making less don't pay any, and different incomes pay different percentages of that income in taxes. Further, it is still not defined what 'income' actually means, though most of the income tax code tries to define that very thing.

You don't even know where the terms 'left wing' and 'right wing' come from, and you don't know what 'socialism' is.

Left & Right wing political spectrum comes from France around the time of the French Revolution.

Those supporting the Monarchist king of tradition, theocracy & serfdom sat on the Right side.

Those against the King sat to the Left.

Those were Capitalists for Democracy voting rights & free markets.

The first Leftists were Capitalists.

At least you are content wallowing in your own ignorance:

"The conflation of nazism and socialism has gone largely unchallenged by the media, and through repetition it is becoming almost "common knowledge" in the US, so I feel compelled to speak against it. I hope that others, especially professors who have occasion to talk about it in and out of class, will also speak against this vile propaganda.

The basis of the conflation of nazism and socialism is the term "National Socialism," a self description of the Nazis. "National Socialism" includes the word "socialism", but it is just a word. Hitler and the Nazis outlawed socialism, and executed socialists and communists en masse, even before they started rounding up Jews. In 1933, the Dachau concentration camp held socialists and leftists exclusively. The Nazis arrested more than 11,000 Germans for "illegal socialist activity" in 1936.

In the 1930s and even beyond, nazism, in sharp contrast to socialism, was strongly supported by leading capitalists and right wingers in the US. Henry Ford, the leading industrialist and auto maker, was a great admirer of the nazis. When Henry Ford announced that he might run for president in 1923, the little-known Hitler told the Chicago Tribune that he would like to send shock troops to Chicago to assist in the campaign. Later in 1938, the year of Kristallnacht, Ford was awarded the Grand Cross of the German Eagle, the highest civilian award given by the nazis. Ford accepted it with pride, and Ford's company collaborated with the nazis as late as August 1942. General Motors, Standard Oil, ITT, and Chase National Bank (later Chase Manhattan Bank) among others also had major financial investments and collaborations with Nazi Germany."

Hitler didn't want Stalinist socialism. He wanted Hitler socialism. Stalin was a competitor to Hitler. It was Stalinist supporters they rounded up.
