We understand we have to plug new loopholes, but that doesn't mean we have to unplug the old ones.

To introduce a whole new tax regime, that would be modern tax reform. But that's too big a task.
We certainly want those at the top to do well, but if you base your entire presidency and your entire economic platform on helping them do even better, you're missing what makes the economy tick.
