Lol, good guess,but not quite. I'm fine with regulation on things that make sense (like obnoxiously bright headlights as it seems dangerous that drivers can't see when you're driving a car and someone with a jacked up truck (all drivers in the south)has super bright lights at your eye level. You gotta admit there is a lot of dumb regulation as well that is frequently brought up by lobbying. Why can't the government just send me a tax form instead of me needing to file my taxes manually or use TurboTax? There's a lot of stuff like that too.

The government has tried to do away with filing taxes more than once. The tax lobby in the US, specifically Intuit the makers of Turbotax, has paid a lot of good money to prevent that. Add to that the anti-taxation people want taxes to be painful so that you associate that pain with taxes and now you understand why you can't file electronically directly with the IRS who already knows how much you owe, or just get your return back if owed one.
