It’s not that lobbying is a major slice of $14B, it’s that they actually spend only $3m and it’s effective: https://www.opensecrets.org/federal-lobbying/client

  Notoriously there is also a large contingent of anti-tax politicians and citizens that oppose making paying taxes easier. Their reasoning being the more friction there is the more likely that you will pay attention to how much you are being taxed and support their policies that cut taxes.
