Never said he wrote the tax code. But fancy/schmancy tax breaks, even allowed by law, don't impress the everyday Joe. His opposition will be able to exploit those against him if he uses them.
That's such BS... even "little guys" like myself have used tax "loopholes" such as mortgage interest deductions, depreciation on assets, and so on. I'm still for a simplified tax code... perhaps even a flat tax or something close to that. The fact that my accountant does his job based on this year's tax laws doesn't make me a hypocrite.
