I really wish you were being facetious. I get the feeling you'd be very surprised to learn about your fellow citizens and their knowledge of American tax laws.

I disagree. From the perspective of someone who doesn't know the law, how are they supposed to follow it? Even an intelligent and competent person doesn't know all the laws, especially in America. I would wager that every person in this forum has broken at least one law without knowing it.
