It will not work, part of compensation is being hired as lobbyist after you "retire" from public office. So either go fund me will do the same or it will fail.

This is a bit reductive. Not everyone member of Congress goes to work for TurboTax after they retire!

However I imagine Inuit is a reliable source of campaign contributions every year. The simple solution is to get enough funding that the campaign can promise 3 or 4 election cycles of support for any politicians that vote in favor of tax filing reform.

There's no guarantee this doesn't simply make the bribe more expensive for Intuit.
