Whether or not the income tax would ever rise to 1/40th of a cent per dollar! The power to tax is the power to destroy, as we are seeing. And do you know what the big argument of the time was?

We had an income tax at the start of the nation and then again at the Civil War onward. it just codified that a tax on ANY source of income was not a direct tax and thus didn't come under the Article I restrictions; from 1895-1913, tax on income from property or property-like (derivatives and such) were deemed direct taxes and thus subject to the Article I restrictions... but taxes on income such as wages were already deemed allowable and had been since the founding. War Pig,

They tried it in Russia, Eastern Europe, etc. Didn't work. You worked, you earned it, you keep it. I'd like to go back in time and strangle those dastardly poltroons who proposed the 16th Amendment.
