So, what exactly stops the politicians from writing simple and clear tax laws?
It wouldn’t be hard for the lawmakers to eliminate this uncertainty, they just want to remain competitive.
- 9HZZRfNlpR 7y agoI've always wondered what about the spirit of the law/contract in these cases?
- ArnoVW 7y agoDon't know the particular tax law in question, but perhaps it would help you if you thought you of lawmaking as making software (in fact in French the word for law is 'code') Everything you code has to be coherent, requirements change, and when they do it is hard to get everyone to agree on the details. You have 200 years of legacy code, have to be compatible with other states and countries, have to support all possible edge cases, and your code is interpreted not by a computer but by a human. Are there broken laws? Sure. Is it easy to make good ones? Not so sure.
