A flat lower tax is still a tax, has to be collected, enforced i.e. audits, etc...

• Your stock broker withholds exactly the correct amount from each dividend payment and each capital gain.

Making all of those institutions "withholding police" would cause their costs of compliance to skyrocket, essentially costing the taxpayer more.
