The German word for how complicated the tax code is is "die Steuerverfassungskomplexität"

I think you're vastly under estimating how complicated the us tax code is.

You just aren't appreciating just _how_ majestically bonkers the US tax system is. It is truly a work of art.
For a country which loves complaining about tax, and where half the political campaigning was traditionally about lowering tax, they sure love overcomplicating tax.
