A Surprising Statement or Fact This type of hook provides “shock value” for the reader.
If you don’t believe our current tax law is ridiculously out of control, consider this: Our total tax law consists of 101,295 pages and 7.05 million words. That means our tax law has almost 100 times more pages and ten times as many words and the Bible. Bloated? You bet. But it doesn’t have to be. The government would collect equal or greater tax revenue and save millions of dollars in compliance costs by instituting a flat tax system.
