The world over, bureaucracy rules, though politicians come and go. Over in Britain, we have had TV series that lampooned their bureaucrats and politicians. Most countries have their own versions of it.
Occasionally, they do some good. Mostly, they hinder any chance of benefiting a common citizen. Our license raj before 1991, in India, was infamous. You needed permission to manufacture anything, from a safety pin, to a rocket. That kept Indian entrepreneurs in check- and uncompetitive for decades.
Now, we have a friendlier version, but it's still way too complicated. Go to any govt. department, and you will see. Hopefully, you won't have to, but that's a pipe dream for some.
It's usually self-perpetuating. The recent Income Tax change may help some tax payers escape the big circus that they go through to pay (or not) their taxes. Hopefully.
