The government will certainly disagree. The complexity is creating jobs. Look at all the tax preparers and the whole industries built around tax preparation firms like H&R Block and software like Turbotax, and then you have a whole government bureaucracy of the IRS. A friend and I were talking last night about a VAT. It won't happen. The IRS would no longer be needed. H&R Block would be non-existent and all those software guys in India doing Turbotax would no longer be needed.
I think we all agree that simplification would be good for us, but it's what keeps "them" employed. They have lots more lobbyists than we do.
Good luck but I would rather row a raft up the Colorado River. 
P.S. I'm curious just how much of our tax base goes to the "overhead" of the IRS?
