54,846 Pages
Did you know that the US Tax Code is 54,846 pages long? How can any human be expected to comprehend this, much less comply? This is probably why there are 32 million penalties assessed every year. Reminds me of Heinlein’s proposed constitutional amendment, something along the lines of “any law too complex for the average American to understand in a half hour or so should be unconstitutional.”
