1913 16th Amendment ratified, authorizing income tax(boooo!)

Amendment XVI

The Congress shall have power to lay and collect taxes on incomes, from whatever source derived, without apportionment among the several states, and without regard to any census or enumeration.

Let's see who was President in 1913?

Woodrow Wilson (Democrat)

Figures, plus he got us into a war. Sort of like Roosevelt, Truman and LBJ.
