Damn, anyone know if these are real? 1917 must have seen some rather stiff opposition! Govt used WW1 as pretext to hugely raise taxes?https://twitter.com/altNOAA/status/1082531681196740609 …
After the 17th was ratified, Senators were no longer accountable to the States from which they came. This prompted Senators to abandon Dual Federalism; to undermine local and state power in exchange for Federal handouts they could then tout as “successes” to their constituents.pic.twitter.com/T57zOLfqnh
Making the Senate essentially a 2nd House of Representatives, only less representative.

War is the health of the State.
The IRS has a history of taxation.
Nope. These numbers were on the books because nobody actually ever paid them. That's the only way anyone could ever get these passed. Creative (and legal) accounting was not invented yesterday.
They’re real. Although WW1 was a pretext to raise taxes, such hikes would’ve been impossible without abolishing State representation in the Federal Government. Until the passage of the 17th amendment (1913), the Senate was a check on Federal Power.https://tinyurl.com/y7ckgqs6
