Yes, that would be too convoluted for a politician to get behind

Power is the addictive drug that drives most political ambitions. Using the tax code to reward friends and punish enemies provides politicians and bureaucrats with a major "hit" of that power drug.

A fair and flat tax would take away that power, and will never happen without overwhelming public demand, IMO..
