It isn’t just the code. It’s the code and Treasury regs and court cases and hundreds of articles that pros need to interpret the damn thing.

It isn’t just the code. It’s the code and Treasury regs and court cases and hundreds of articles that pros need to interpret the damn thing.

You don't think there would be regulations under the FairTax? Go to the text of the bill and search for "regulation" and get back to me. Besides, the regulations are just "the official interpretation of the IRC by the U.S. Department of the Treasury." Treasury would have an official interpretation of the FairTax, too.

And court cases, please. There will still be people who have to be taken to court because of sales taxes. There will be rulings. There will be precedent set and it will have to be documented.


[BTW, are you at least admitting that the "tax code" isn't 67,000 pages? I think I've shown that pretty conclusively.]
