If you're going to hate FDR's war time actions, hate him for the big one...
INCOME TAX WITHHOLDING
That was put in place supposedly only until the end of the war. Instead now we have two full generations, soon to be three, who have no idea what they really make and how much they pay in taxes.
Can you imagine the reaction if all the guys who make say $30K-ish all had to mail a check to uncle sam for $10K on April 15th?
As is, most are so stupid they have no idea they actually pay that much in taxes. Ask 'em how much they paid in taxes last year and many of them will boast, "nothing! i got some back!"
