If the tax codes were simplified it would obliterate the revenue of the tax-help businesses. Seriously, that is why it hasn't been simplified.

- nfnaaron 17y agoNo. You think tax preparers are specifically the ones keeping the current tax regime in place? No. It's Congress. We will never have a simplified tax code, ever. Not a flat tax, not a fair tax, not a VAT, nothing. Because Congress will never give up the power to give and take tax breaks. It's the power to give tax breaks and pork that keeps the pig-trough filled to overflowing.
