Are you familiar with Americans? That won’t fly.
I am a coastal Californian by choice (albeit born in Texas, which I am no longer ashamed to admit after November 3rd), so I am familiar with sane Americans. But you may well be correct, since there are many paranoid and gullible Americans eager to believe every doom scenario some guy with an "AI" and a podcast can come up with.
Shrug. My Portuguese tax returns are about 20x simpler than my US ones, as measured by the number of pages required. That's not even counting my final-year California return. No tax system is ideal, but there are a lot of things to appreciate about the system here.
