Yep. Runaway government has it’s origins in the early 20th century with three events; the establishment of the Federal Reserve, and the ratification of the 16th and 17th Amendments.
19th Amendment too.
Actually, before 1913, you could have income tax without apportionment on limited types of incomes. The 16th Amendment broadened the scope of incomes — to all forms — to which this tax could be applied without apportionment.
If we really want to meaningfully kill the federal income tax, we could not simply repeal the 16th Amendment and expect income taxes to go away. They would just be more limited.
