>If $2.3MM/yr over 5 years is enough to reshape the trajectory of fundamental laws in this country, why aren't people just Kickstarter-ing cannabis decriminalization, marriage equality, and copyright law changes?

There aren't any lobbies dedicated to keeping taxes simple. 2) It's easier to kill proposed legislation than it is to propose new legislation and get it passed.
