The masses are content with the current level of taxation, which means that if the country felt that it had to reinforce the semantics of the law, it could do so at will.

Such is the nature of power.

To really fight taxation in a country where the government is basically representative, you have to get the voters to desire actual change -- and not just loopholes. If the people WANTED to pay less tax, they would indicate it and the government would respond. The only way to get real change is to work it from the bottom up: get the people to desire it.
