Doubt the big accounting firms and tax attorneys would let it happen. But a 1 page progressive tax code could be a very good thing.

RandPaul has no chance of being the GOP nominee

His recent omnipresence and hogging of the spotlight has crowded out much of the competition. Rand Paul with his shrinking single-digit polling numbers would seem to be a victim of this phenomena.

Rand Paul, describing the Tax Code as comprising 70,000 pages, is either lying or misrepresenting what the Tax Code is.

The actual Tax Code is under two thousand pages - its bulk mostly the result of loopholes promoted by well-paid lobbyists for big business and billionaires, but to get 70,000 pages is possible only when you also include all the IRS internal regulations and paragraphs from almost every published court tax decision.

Also should be noted: there is a LOT of weird shit in Title 26...there are federal excise taxes on wagers, greenmail, tires, vaccines, machine guns...the federal liquor and tobacco laws are all in the tax code...if you "totally repealed" the Internal Revenue Code you'd be there for five years creating a ton of new laws to deal with all the things Title 26 deals with very well already.

The loophole that allows the Romneys to deduct all the costs of Ann's dressage horse because they get a tiny bit of income from winning competitions.

I wonder.
