Not his fault the tax rules are broken for the ultra-rich. They always have been throughout history...so I don't expect any changes.

If we tried, it would require regulation on how politicians can be compensated for the rest of their lives after taking office. Need to close the revolving door where politicians help out rich people/corporations while in office, then are compensated indirectly after leaving office.

Sure it is, not his alone, but the ultra rich bribe the government to make sure the rules are broken. They are all at fault. Any attempt to fix these things is stopped by the ultra rich. They have even put their own people on the supreme court! (see comments by the Koch brothers stating this explicitly)

This isn't some accidental software defect. The rich write these laws to their benefit. He's part of the class whose fault it absolutely is and considering his political position as a conservative, he advocates and helps keep up the corrupt system he benefits from directly, even if he didn't lobby for this specific tax regulation.
