Of course I failed to note the 20% can afford to support lobbyists to work on the IRS to create loopholes and the accountants and tax lawyers to help the 20% take full advantage of those intricacies.  In view of that, it surprises me to hear the 20% pay that much.  It might be nice to have a simplified tax code.  But then how would TheIRS, yes, as in not ours, justify its existence.
