No conservative should make a living based on the tax code. If you can point me to her specific sponsorship of a flat tax or fair tax bill, I’ll listen. But my initial and enduring impression of her is not favorable. And this is not a “slam” against accountants. I spend about 1 hour every Thursday afternoon talking with my CPA. He is a close friend and very trusted advisor.
She was one of the best.
It's not like she voted for a law demanding we pay higher taxes, or one demanding you use her for your preparer.

I would suggest that if you are spending an hour a week with your CPA that you yourself are using the various parts of the tax code to reduce your taxes, or, in your words 'making a living based on the tax code'.
BUT, perhaps I'm have wrongly accused you.
You may not be a conservative, and my words don't apply.
