What would take 10% of the effort/cost to enforce and incur 10% of the friction and still yield 90% of the result?

One answer might be some type of universal healthcare or medicare for all, replacing other types of welfare.

I think taxes need to be simplified, but I'm not sure what's the best way to go about that. This article describes how the ultra-wealthy can stretch the limits of tax avoidance, and the IRS can't really do anything about it: https://www.propublica.org/article/ultrawealthy-taxes-irs-internal-revenue-service-global-high-wealth-audits

Would be interesting to take a stab at simplifying the tax code.
