Abe & Wilson were bad, but neither had the impact that FDR did.
FDR & crew created the modern US tyrannical state. The military industrial complex, the welfare system, the concentration of power in the exec branch...
FDR is also the only one on the list who is flat out socialist. (AFAIK)
Just what is the criteria used in making these determinations? My criteria is whether the former President was part of a movement to reestablish a Constitutional government. If a President wasn't part of such a movement to advance modern civilization, then his or her administration was part of an erosion away from it. These erosions towards tyranny helped reestablished the old master/slave caste systems of the past.
FDR created the New Deal movement to raise the level of the lower class (slaves) relative to that of the higher class of Robber Barons (masters) the government itself helped to create. These Barons were employed by the Government and literally given wealth as incentives to establish new industries like the railroads and steel industries.
Like all American movements of the past, the New Deal worked well at first before it spoiled into a can of slimey legal precedents.
Let us use Hillary as an example here. President Clinton's administration was part of an erosion towards tyranny regardless of his leadership abilities. The reason for this determination were the legal precedents his administration dug up from the out dated Civil Rights movement. He didn't help in reestablishing the Constitutional government over the United States but instead masked a hidden agenda with a false movement made up of prior legal precedents. Bush Jr. did the exact same thing but only in an inverse manner. His corrupt administration did not lead a movement with fresh measures to reestablish the civil purpose in the Constitution but he dug up old legal precedents from the Reagan years.
Western civilization was established on a socialist principle that the poor can learn to improve their lives when served by teachers (midwife philosophers).
In regards to the social redispersal of wealth to rid our nation of the primitive master/slave caste system?
When the government taxes the middle class out of business in order to redisperse their wealth to the poor and the rich, this is a form of tyranny because the process works to reestablish the old caste system of government as the middle class erodes to that of the master and the slave.
Likewise, when people choose a
legal path of dispensing their government through judgement rather than choose the
civil path of dispensing it through negotiation and compromise, the people exiting out of the courthouse do so as losers and winners. This legal process further reestablishes the old caste system of losing slaves and winning masters.
