The U.S. Tax Code has:
* 17,000 PAGES of tax regulations
* 5.5 MILLION words, many inconsistent with
each other
* 569 DIFFERENT income tax forms requirements
* BILLIONS of dollars spent on tax lawyers and accountants
to understand tax regulations
* The presumption of GUILT until innocence is proven
* GROWN like mad. Federal income tax code and regulations
grew over eight-fold from 744,000 words in 1955 to 6,929,000
by 2000.

"Our
federal tax system is, in short, utterly impossible, utterly unjust
and completely counterproductive...[it] reeks with injustice and
is fundamentally un-American... it has earned a rebellion and
it's time we rebelled."
-Ronald
Reagan, May 1983
"Our Income Tax system is a disgrace
to the human race."
-Jimmy Carter, 1976
"I believe that the current
tax code is an abomination that cries out for vast simplification
and reform."
-Treasury
Sec. Paul O'Neill, 2002
| The
current tax code is a 60,000-page catalog of favors
for special interests and a chamber of horrors for the
rest of America. ScraptheCode.org is dedicated to sweeping
tax reform by 2006.
