Abe Lincoln, proto-socialist

First federal income tax? Check? First "greenback" money? Check. Yep, that's the Honest Abe that Krugman says makes today's GOP cringe.

Hey, Paul, don't forget all the socialist railroad subsidies! I'm waiting for the first GOp wingnut, in the Civil War sesquicentennial, to claim the South was sueceding from "creeping socialism."
