I'm not sure that "simplifying tax code" and "reduce/remove loopholes" go together, do they? The simpler the language, the more "wiggle room" there usually is.

I'm not sure that "simplifying tax code" and "reduce/remove loopholes" go together, do they? The simpler the language, the more "wiggle room" there usually is. If you want to reduce/remove loopholes, you're going to definitely be complicating the tax code else you leave too much room for interpretation mistakes.
