Theres a common complaint about how theres only 2 parties to choose from, and yet the vote of the people continue to empower the 2 choices. Not to mention the abolishment of the IRS would be a drastic change.

I mean that the two party system helps both sides. A true active third-party could hurt the two parties a lot.
Because a lot of what you are proposing would have to go through Congress, unless there is a significant presence of third-party members there, nothing like that would get done. The two parties would not cooporate.
Now, if after two years of that congressmen start losing their elections to third-party members, then there would likely be progress.
It would be almost impossible, in my mind, for a third-party/independent candidate to be a successful President due to the Congress.
