banana,
Connecticut, Florida, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Utah and Virginia did not ratify the 16th.
Kentucky, Tennessee and Wyoming reported ratification of the 16th, but there's no evidence they actually did so.
Further, in States that DID ratify, their State Constitutions require the Governor to sign. In 5 ratifying states, the Governor DID NOT sign as required.
There were 48 states then with 36 needed to ratify. 48 - 15 = 33.
Sorry, no Income Tax.

17 other States have missing or incomplete evidence of ratification.
Time for a "do over". Maybe when we cut off their money totally, they'll give us a simpler system like Flat + Sales.
