I'm gonna respectfully disagree. Sort of. Does Turbotax and H&R Block lobby to protect their businesses? Yes, of course. However, that lobbying is basically meaningless compared to the political pressure from the real beneficiaries of the current US tax system: the wealthy and big corporations who spend, say, $5-million on tax attorneys in order to save $50-million in taxes. That's who ultimately created the US tax system, that's who stands to lose the most from reform, and that's who's gonna work to protect the status quo.
