On the recordOctober 21, 1997

No, indeed, to the best of my recollection, and I must confess, Mr. Speaker and to my colleagues here, I do not have a detailed history at my fingertips. It is my understanding, however, that as things changed in our society, as the 16th Amendment to the Constitution was ratified, as there was an allowance of direct taxation of income, sadly, a lot of perversions have grown out of that. And I use that word purposefully, because these things run counter to our well-established constitutional rights that our Founders brought us.
