Do you think initially the tax code grew because of people gaming the system or because of its own tendencies toward creating red tape and finding new ways to squeeze money out of people?

A game of chess is very simple at first. The pieces are laid out neatly, and even after a few moves it's quite easy to understand what is happening.
But once you get to the middle of the game, the relationship between all the pieces is quite complicated, and it's hard to understand what openings you create with each move you make.
