Well they are right about Barry choking the economy. But under GW the GOP had 8 years to simplify the tax code and what happened? Nada. What will happen when they get power again? Nada.
A friend's tax attorney said he loved it when politicians talked about simplifying the tax code. To simplify the tax code they always grandfather the decisions made under the old code. So then you end up with multiple methods. Every time they try to simplify it, just makes it more complicated.
Besides you can eliminate all taxes and all regulations and you still won't compete with China's $2/day labor rates.
