Why are you arbitrarily limiting the time frame to recent history? A simplified tax filing method could have been introduced at any time in say, the last 50 years. During which time Democrats have had house and senate control many times [0] and the basic reality of the IRS having all your tax info ahead of time has been unchanged (read: simplified tax filing was possible). That they never seized the opportunity to do so is just evidence that they didn’t really care to, not that some shadow cabal of Republicans had held them back.
