If it were that easy they'd do it.

You make more money with a bunch of nickle and dime taxes. 20% to the feds, 10% to the state. 5% sales, 1% property, a litany of $10-1000 fees for interacting with government, etc, etc than you do with a single big tax that is easy to rally against even if the nickle and dime solution is lossy.

You make the most revenue with a giant VAT like Europe has. After that it's income/payroll tax probably.
