Read it and weep. Or maybe I should say look at it and weep.
I suppose this is a good time to recycle my flat tax video. I don’t mention this in the video, but Hong Kong’s flat tax system, which has been around for more than 60 years, requires less than 200 pages. Slovakia’s flat tax law is thinner than a magazine.
Cui bono? It is past time to get the lawyers out of the legislature. Until that happens, we will never succeed in simplifying the tax code or re-allocating power to the states.
Corruption in our system of who pays taxes and who is allowed to avoid paying taxes! I’m shocked, shocked that our politicians would game the system to their own personal advantage at the expense of the rest of us.

Horrifying! Thomas Jefferson foresaw this when he said :
“Experience has shown, that even under the best forms of government those entrusted with power have, in time, and by slow operations, perverted it into tyranny.”
Look how the founding father’s America that became at lightning speed -about half a century- the world’s superpower with less than 10% TOTAL government spending was transformed by the political class into the european style stagnated welfare state that the USA is today.
The U.S. Constitution, one of the best ever made, is often not respected. And as the political class gives itself more power the U.S. Constitution will be even less respected.
I think the failure of the U.S. Constitution in limiting the power of the political class shows that the ONLY solution is kicking away the arrogant sadistic political class out of our lives by allowing every law to be repealed by a referendum that the people can call at any moment it wishes.
Establishing a set of very good rules -like the U.S. Constitution did- never worked long term because the U.S. Constitution left too much power to the political class.

How about a constitutional amendment: The tax law should be no longer than can be read by a person in say ten years (or perhaps 20). This would give a very generous maximum reasonable size.
Actually, how about all laws must fit within this numerical limit? If the politicians want to propose a new law, then they must get rid of an existing one so the total still fits within the reasonable size limit…

Paul, I agree.
Which is why I vowed a few years ago to NEVER AGAIN vote anybody into public office who is and or ever has been an attorney — regardless of party.
