Summary

It’s no secret that the United States has a ridiculously complicated tax code. It’s generally accepted that the tax code is 4 million words long, or about 5 times as long as the Bible, and growing exponentially. The tax code changed 4680 times between 2001 and 2012, or about once per day on average. Clearly, we have a problem. Having said that, today I want to make the case to you for a flat tax system.
