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.
