Too many accountants and lawyers with $$$ on the table for this to go forward.
This is a great point, and one that concerned me also. However, the $200 Billion/year tax industry is small in relation to productive and taxed industry's as a whole. A lobby of "Producers" would easily dwarf them.

I discussed the importance of abolishing the income tax because of its tendency to form a habit of servility in the souls of a people that accept it. Servility of soul is bad not only in itself, it is also an open door through which will soon walk the abuses of ambitious government power. Leaders who find themselves with governmental power over a servile people will be quick to conclude that such a people exist to serve them.

I hate to keep posting the same stuff over and over, but this quote is so appropriate for the kind of defeatist, victim mentality posts that I just can't help myself.
