runs into some interest group.

Want to get rid of deductions?

You're going to have the middle class up in arms if you touch the mortgage deduction. You're anti-family if you mess with the kid deduction. You're anti-poor if you mess with the charitable deduction.

Every deduction has its interest group which will go up in arms.

That's why everyone talkks about massive changes in the tax code, and no one ever does it. When it does get changed it becomes Christmas as everyone gets and no one gives.
