It was successfully challenged all the way up to the Supreme Court which ruled ONCE AGAIN THAT THE 16TH AMENDMENT DID NOT DO A GODDAMN THING TO GIVE CONGRESS MORE POWER THAN IT HAD BEFORE...
Article 1 of the original un-amended Constitution gave Congress the authority to levy and collect taxes...
The Congress shall have Power To lay and collect Taxes
The 16th didn't give them any new "Power" as the Constitution defines it... so I guess this boils down to: What's your point?
