Ted Cruz: Our Tax Code Is Longer Than the Bible!

Credit :

 US Senator Ted Cruz was correct in his claim that the Internal Revenue Service's tax code has more words than the Holy Bible.

At a speech Tuesday before the International Association of Fire Fighters, the potential Republican presidential candidate said, "On tax reform, we, right now, have more words in the IRS code than there are in the Bible — not a one of them as good."

In a fact checking article for The Washington Post, Michelle Ye Hee Lee found that Cruz's comment was correct.
"The literally translated King James Version of the Bible contains just over 800,000 words. There are as many as 3.7 million individual words in the IRS tax code," wrote Lee.
