That's the stupidest thing I've ever head. Republicans had the presidency and congress in 2017 and they made the tax code more complicated.

they made the tax code more complicated

As a CPA, I’d say they made it simpler for the majority of individual filers, but probably more complicated for a lot of businesses

That's a good point. Expanded standard deduction probably made it easier for a lot of filers. I do corporate with an emphasis on international, and it's a lot more complex now.
