Ann Coulter Reminds the WLB That His Racist Fans Don't Care About Tax Cuts

[Pat Mustard]

I was with the IRS in 1986 when St. Reagan the Fucktard last "simplified" the tax code.  They added 800 pages.  I was still a fairly new union official at that time and I recall one older revenue agent walking in to the union office with two books:  The old Internal Revenue Code of 1954 and the new revised Code of 1986.  The "simplified" one was a good 3/4 of an inch thicker and he laughed and said "I'm too old to learn this much more bullshit.  Where do I get the papers to retire?"

Do you know why the tax lawyers and accountants added so many pages to the code? When you make laws complex you create loopholes, some of which you could drive a carriage and eight through. Now in most areas of the law intent puts paid to loopholes, for example if you find a loophole which allows you kill your worst enemy, the intent to do him harm and kill him is still enough to ensure that you can get fried, yet in business law (and taxes in particular) intent cannot be used to close a loophole.
