> This is a complex set of laws yes but it is also detailed multi-generational documentation of all the shit people have tried to pull. You don't just throw that out because it has grown complex. Like all necessary complexity, you isolate and manage it, not spray it all over the end user.
Who says that complexity is necessary?
Most of that complexity just grew out of other complexity.
If you have a simpler tax code to begin with, you don't need to patch all the work-arounds people found.
Of course, that's much easier said that politically done. Simpler taxes are popular as an idea, but rarely when you get into the specifics.
