So, no, I do not like the complexity of the tax code. I've been talking about simplifying and rationalizing it rather than use the word tax reform. I always talk about taxification, tax rationalization. Honestly, One of the concessions I wrangled out of voting yes for this in the end was a considered effort on the part of the Finance Committee to truly look at tax simplification. So I am completely on board with that. I'm probably the guy leading the effort here in terms of spending reduction and also tax simplification rationalization. (45:30–45:42)
