Not to get into politics here, but I've never understood why the US makes taxes so difficult. Why do you have to remember to file them yourself when the government surely already knows how much you have made?

Where I live, the government handles everything automatically most of the time, and most deductions are included automatically as well. They send you a summary of the calculations along with how much you owe or the refund you'll receive. Only in rare cases, usually when some deductible is missing, do you need to fill out and submit forms yourself.

I think there are companies in the US that sell a product to make taxes "easier" and they make a lot of money from it. And since they are a rich American company, they can lobbybribe the government to do what they want.

This is correct. Also because congress changes the tax code hundreds of times per year, it is practically impossible for an individual to keep up with every minute change. You could try filing by yourself, but you'll end up working with those tax preparers, paying them a fee instead.
