In honor of tax day, Business Insider put together a slide show on the 20 tax facts that will “make your head explode.” Here’s a sample:

1. The IRS has more employees than there are people in Flint, Michigan (106K vs 102K).

2. Americans spend $28 billion and 8 billion hours each year doing their taxes.

3. The number of pages in the tax code has increased 16,775% in the past century.

4. You could fill Dallas with the number of accountants Americans hire to help with taxes each year (over a million).

Just think what the unemployment would be without taxes. What would accountants do? Too bad people aren't honest about their taxes. Then they wouldn't need the IRS doing all that auditing. They could always have a flat tax. Then us regular folks could pay a flat tax. Of course the fat cats would make sure they got their deductions so they could stay at the avg 16% that they pay now.
