This is an accurate statement....but the issue is not a partisan one. Both parties had a hand in the current tax codes, which were made over many decades and have more holes than loops. There is no sense in playing the politics game in this issue...as everyone is to blame. Perhaps working towards repair would be a better expense of energy than blaming everyone else.
