Changing the Constitution

When the constitution was first formulated and accepted. It was specifically stated that income tax was forbidden. However, since then the constitution has been revised to, so that the income tax can be used. Income tax when first attempted to be put into use as a 2% tax on all incomes over $3000 was rejected by the supreme court as unconstitutional. Ironically, the tax that now crushes the nation was first intended as a tax to reduce the power of the rich.
