Is this a realistic scenario? Democratic governments are beholden to their core voting blocs and can only keep their power by addressing their immediate (as opposed to long term) interests. This is the mechanism that generates various loopholes in tax codes worldwide.

For sure the situation won't improve under the current government, but there have been improvements in the past.

TBH I just hope that honest taxpayers (which I'm sure are the majority of people, given employees can hardly avoid taxes) will realize that this system is a problem, and start pushing for a more just fiscal system.
