Perhaps if the less wealthy were able to wrest power from the very wealthy whom have clearly gamed the US tax code with Enron-like complexity, personal taxes could be fairer and similar to Norway's dual model, where the govt computes taxes for persons in the majority of cases based on standard deductions and can be easily approved by the taxpayer by SMS if it is correct. This would end most of the unnecessary labor and drudgery that also happens to be extremely unfair.
The first point is the troubling one, because politicians in the US are drunk with money of the very same people whom pay the least taxes and amass large piles of cash to buy their interests, a behavior few people can do individually (but could collectively, if they were sufficiently organized and singularly aggressive on such an issue (crowdfunding-like model)).
