How can we ever get tax simplification?

When our civilization becomes simplified....since I don't see that happening anytime soon, I don't think the taxation system can be simplified to the extent that "no tax" proponents would like.


Who's arguing for no taxes?

The tax code can be simple without civilization being simple. Government doesn't have to reward or punish every activity in a complex civilization. The attempt causes more harm then good, but where government intervention is necessary a direct law or regulation is probably a better idea. Simpler taxes would give us more freedom and waste less resources trying to figure out and comply with the tax laws. I would also like taxes to be lower but they could become simpler without being lower.
