For perspective, our U.S. Tax Code has roughly 15,423,541 more words than the Lord of the Rings trilogy
It would take the average person about 45 days of nonstop reading with no sleep to read the entirety of our Tax Code.
Department of Government Efficiency@DOGE· Nov 17, 2024In 1955, there were less than 1.5 million words in the U.S. Tax Code.
Today, there are more than 16 million words.
Because of this complexity, Americans collectively spend 6.5 billion hours preparing and filing their taxes each year.
This must be simplified.
