We’d do pretty well to repeal everything enacted in the annus horribilis of 1913.

In fact the 17th Amendment is fourth on my list of abominations of annus horribilis. The first is the Amendment XVI the legalized an income tax. The second is XVIII, prohibition, which has already been repealed. The third is the Federal Reserve Act.

Pretty much every expansion of government since then has built upon the federal government’s authority to tax income and print money.

I thought Prohibition was ratified later than that.
