“In 1913, the tax code consisted of 400 pages; by 1945 it had grown to 8,200 pages; by 1984, 26,300 pages; and today is estimated at more than 75,000 pages — despite periodic reforms. There is no politically doable tax reform shy of abolishing the income tax, which would reverse this process. Political leaders who have been responsible for the lack of growth and job creation are now in the process of trying to build an international tax cartel in an attempt to keep the corporate and individual income-tax slaves on the welfare-state plantations. Ultimately, they will fail because if tax slaves are not allowed to flee, they will revolt.”
