    1000 pages?

    Interesting statement by the Ways and Means chairman on his new tax reform bill:

    “You’re going to hear a lot about one provision or another,” Camp told reporters at a news conference introducing his long-awaited draft. “The truth is people want a simpler, fairer and flatter tax code.”

    From thehill.com: http://thehill.com/blogs/on-the-mone...t-long-overdue

    Fair enough. But that simpler tax code is 1000 pages? Sheesh!

    I might like this thing, I'll need to read up on it and see. Some of the things I read on the article are ones I strongly endorse and I'm sure there are some I won't like. But I have to tell you that I have come to believe that the more complex a law is and the longer it is in printed form the lower the likelihood it actually does anything positive.

    1000 pages.... that's some serious typing man.

    Damned good point. Maybe this is a drastic improvement and I just didn't know it.

    I exaggerated (bad memory). It's 77,000 pages. Three times the size of Obamacare Bill that no one has ever read.
