Yup, you'll enjoy the dig on that one. There are a number of things that must be done EXACTLY a certain specific way for a Constitutional amendment to be legitimately ratified. If any of them is not done, the amendment is not ratified. Several were not done in the proper way with the 16th, you'll find. For example, the wording must be exactly—to the letter and punctuation—what was passed by the Congresscritters. No exceptions or deviations allowed at all, or it's null and void.
We've been scammed for over 100 years on just this one thing, the income tax.
It's not true, it was both passed by Congress and ratified by 42 of the then 48 states (only 36 were required for the amendment to be ratified). The ability of the government to collect income tax has been examined, clarified, and upheld multiple times by the Supreme Court and Federal courts. Please, for your own sake, doing listen to these people and pay your taxes so you don't end up with a huge tax bill or jail time.
Thanks ZeroDeltaTango I was not aware of that... interesting.
