Serious question: For what reason do you believe the IRS makes any determination based on the revenue generated by such a decision? Is this codified into law? Are you counting on logic or fiscal responsibility to drive a gargantuan federal agency?
If approving an optional plan makes implementation of the whole thing more likely, the IRS actually reduces revenue over status quo.
