When you vote, you are not voting for anything or anyone substantial. Party A and Party B have the exact same policies with simply different political tones and groups of elites that they support.
The 16th amendment was adopted on February 3, 1913. Good to read its history: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sixteenth_Amendment_to_the_United_States_Constitution https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sixteenth_Amendment_to_the_Uni... and how controversy still stands despite a century of litigation.
