"INCOME TAX CODE: 60,000 PAGES and growing."

Slight correction - I believe the Internal Revenue Code is around 9,500 pps. The tax SYSTEM (as defined and measured by CCH) was just over 60,000 pages last year (04). CCH counts, in addition to the Code itself, Treasury Dept rulings, IRS regs, among other documents in their tabulation of the tax system.
