I am sorry, but the modern global tax system is a mess and I don't want to support it in any way. I have to pay quite a lot of taxes and social payments here (contrary to a popular myth, Switzerland is quite tax-heavy for small businesses, and we have obligatory medical insurance, quite expensive), but at least, most of them were voted in directly on referendums, and a lot more were repelled by voters who are also taxpayers.
In most other countries, governments are free to issue new tax laws and amend old ones at their wish, without democratic validation. And the only feedback is the promise of candidates to fix things in the next 4 years, which they rarely fulfill.

In the US at least, the tax system is the way politicians can reward their contributors in the most straightforward manner. New, arcane deductions directed at individual companies or groups of companies make for a very complicated tax system. Politicians have no incentive to change it, and we have not elected a person who has a philosophical hatred of it.
