How will you celebrate this anniversary?

On this date, 95 years ago, U.S. Secretary of State Philander Knox proclaimed that the 16th Amendment had been adopted by the requisite number of states and was now part and parcel of the U.S. Constitution.

Legislation to levy and collect the income tax followed shortly thereafter.... *Sigh*
