Even without the lobbying the public choice aspects of this are bad. I'd like easier tax filing but I wouldn't vote for a politician who I disagreed with about immigration if they supported it. On the other hand I'd bet that most of employees of H&R Block, Intuit, etc would consider tax reform a huge threat to their livelihoods and would rank this as their top priority in choosing who to vote for.
