[QUOTE="mugsy, post: 2071537, member: 18914"] I think you basically have summarized it well. The direct election of Senators weakened the ability of States to affect what was coming at them out of Washington (i.e. Federalism itself was weakened), and the income tax was designed to allow the Federal government to have, theoretically at least, access to almost the whole of all income in the U.S. to feed its own growth. I am not sure I buy the Federal Reserve bank arguments - I've heard them before but am still not convinced. Nevertheless, on the matter of the 17th Amendment I think we are in agreement. [/QUOTE]
