Tax simplification doesn't win votes. A complicated tax system does win votes. Is your campaign weak with car wash owners? Add 2k lines to the tax code and make washing your car at a car wash tax deductible. Can't seem to get over the hump with the dog walker demographic? Another 1200 lines to the tax code will ensure their votes when you give them tax deductions on dog doo bags.

Yep, you're right. Doesn't mean I have to like it much. I do think you could make a campaign out of hating TurboTax though.
