Oh, you have to go back a lot farther than Clinton to say who started it! Income tax during peace time was brought to you by Grover Cleveland and Woodrow Wilson, and withholding (aka stealing) for Social Security by FDR. You can’t really point your finger at any one administration, and it’s no conspiracy; it’s just human nature to be self-serving. Approval ratings are a farce because it depends whose approval is being counted and why; and the why is always about who’s getting their selfish desires met.
