I mentioned income tax. I am sorry that I can't read it to you since you can't seem to read, yourself. Please ask someone to help you next time before writing back with irrelevant comments.
The sixteenth didn't give Congress the power for income tax, either. She was WRONG.
It's about apportionment and direct/indirect taxation. If the sixteenth were repealed, Congress would still retain the ability to tax income. The tax code would require modification, but it is still there.
Miss O'Donnell claims to be a qualified for one of the top positions in the nation and she'd be sitting there with a dumb look not knowing what was being discussed when "16th Amendment" was mentioned. I suppose she could interrupt and ask other members of the committee, "What are we talking about?"
It wouldn't bother me so much except that she insisted on being such an idiot about how she presented her ignorance. And it bothers me less than her dishonesty. But that doesn't mean it's irrelevant to being a senator!
