Quite a few in our earlier years, but I'm not sure how relevant they are to the issue since we didn't have a national income tax for them to increase the complexity of. In modern times? Maybe Reagan, but he (or more correctly the tax bills passed in to law) while he was president) increased some complexity while decreasing other forms of complexity. Probably a net decrease in complexity, but some might argue otherwise. Anyone else besides Reagan since the Sixteenth Amendment? Well maybe there is someone, but I can't think of any off hand. Coolidge maybe? I have no evidence for him having done so (I only have information about his rate cuts, not any more details about tax changes when he was president), but it would fit with the general pattern of his actions and views.
