Mostly Cajun has a feature called “Today in History”. On November 3 he us it was the day that the United States introduced the income tax. It is a day to wear black.
I am not sure if Cajun is referring to the tax during the Civil War, later attempts to introduce the personal income tax (and the courts rejected it) or the time that the Constitution was amended to make it legal. According to Wikipedia the 16th Amendment was ratified on February 3. Who would you believe, Cajun or Wikipedia? Both are entertaining.
The real problem is that it was ratified, showing why the Founding Fathers had serious doubts about pure democracy. Of course they would have never believed that people would be so stupid as to accept the current nonsense about identifying as transgender.
Sodom move over. Rome, take a back seat. America is coming just as soon as our taxes are paid.
