What's wrong with that? He also denigrated the tax code, that he so readily utilized to his advantage. We all do. The gov can hardly expect you to decline to abide by the very laws they insist you live by. No one wants to fill out tax returns, but if we do, we are also going to exploit every loophole and exemption allowed. I do. By the time I get done doing my paperwork, I pay a net of 3% federal income taxes on my mid level earnings. The bottom feeders not only do not pay any income taxes, but some even get tax return checks of money they never paid. I don't see any of them returning the checks with a note that they do not want the money.
I don't like the electoral system either. Until they do away with it, it will be the deciding factor in ALL of our presidential elections.
