At 3,951,104 words long, the U.S. Tax Code is seven times the length of Leo Tolstoy?s ?War and Peace? - one of the longest reads of all among the academically minded. But wait. The Code is also twice the length of the King James Bible plus the entire works of Shakespeare combined.

That's millions of pages of tax loopholes, credits, and various tricks written into legislation after corporate lobbyists pushed their employers special interests thru.

After all, without loop-holes, common sense says a simple breakdown of income earned, and percentage's to pay would only take a couple of pages. The code is nothing but a tax avoidance system for corporations.
