Question of the day, who writes the 80k pages of federal tax code?

Senators and Congressmen.

Anyone for real tax reform, and dissolving the 80k pages of federal tax code? I don’t see any Democrats standing.

Naw.

Everything that becomes law is written by K Street lawyers.

Nope. They're not smart enough to do that.

They have legions of faceless hacks who are paid to do nothing but write laws, codes, and regulations according to the demands of politicians, lobbyists, and pressure groups. All the senators and congressmen do is to vote for bills that they have never read in their entirety, if at all.

Hence Pelosi's infamous comment, "we have to pass the bill so that you can find out what's in it".
