This was a comment from "BerlinWallCrosser", and I thought it was something worthwhile we should dig on. First I'd heard of it!!
Posting now because I'm headed out for the day and wanted to get some eyes on this. If true, this is MASSIVE. Berlin said we could verify the number of states - so perhaps y'all would like to pick this ball up and run with it? ;)
US Secretary of State Knox officially declared it ratified (don't know if he was a banker).
It likely was not ratified, but if it were ever challenged today, a bunch of states would quickly ratify it before the case could get anywhere, and the judge would dismiss the case, saying it doesn't matter because it is ratified now.
If you want to know the truth about the income tax and 16th Amendment, you will be shocked to know that SCOTUS ruled that it did not change the Constitution, and that it is only an excise tax on engaging in federal government privileges, such as working for the government or being involved in a corporation chartered by Congress (Freddie Mac, etc.).
