The only way he could shine this into a positive is if his tax plan was a flat tax (perhaps with a few brackets for how much income earned) with zero loopholes. His tax plan calls for a reduction in rates (mainly for top brackets) with loopholes still in place. He has no leverage here and I don't want to hear carried interest bullshit brought up. There are ways around that thanks in part to loopholes.
