So you think keeping the 16th Amendment is a good thing?

Absolutely, as it does not affect me, unless I choose for it to affect me because that is what an “excise” tax is, a tax we choose to pay by choosing to participate in gainful activities that require one to pay “excise” taxes. The 16th is a tax on activity, not on the money itself and not all activities that produce gains are taxable activities.

So you believe the method of funding the government before the 16th amendment was defective?

I’m sorry, but for most of us, working is not a voluntary activity.
