Add to that that Grover Norquist runs an organization called Americans for Tax Reform. GOP politicians all have to sign a pledge with them that they will never vote for a tax increase or for anything to make filing taxes easier.

Supposedly, this is because if taxes are easy to file, Americans won't hate them enough and it makes it easier for the government to raise taxes. But, it's awfully convenient that this is exactly what Intuit, H&R Block, etc. all want too.
