As strong as that lobby is, Congress uses the tax codes to reward some and punnish others. It's the #1 tool that gives Congress its power over the country.
Congress will never give up that power, not without a fight.

"It will NEVER happen. The tax lawyer lobby is too strong."

Of course there will be a fight. Noone ever said this would be easy. I get the impression sometimes that the Democrats think we never should have confronted the terrorists because this war on terrorism is rather difficult (to say the least). The insinuation seems to be that if something is difficult, we don't do it.
We had a saying in the USMC: "The difficult, we do immediately; the impossible takes slightly longer."
Just remember that for every special interest group there is out there, there are far more winners under real tax reform than there are losers. We outnumber them greatly. And that is what democracy is all about.
