My argument doesn’t particularly address whether a different tax code would eventually be better. I think changes should be made in small increments so people have plenty of time to adjust.
If you could make a tax system that was trivially simple, it would destroy a significant part of the economy, and put a lot of people out of work. If they had time to find new ways to make money, it would be an easier transition.

Yeah we need to keep those non-productive paper pushing jobs and expenses as a brake on the economy so everyone suffers not just the few who need to be retrained to do something productive for a change...we have had more “tax reforms” in my lifetime than I can remember we need to go cold turkey.
