It's not the "exact same thing" that Bernie is doing.
Sanders and his wife are taking the same basic deductions that tens of millions of people use to adjust their tax return.
He's accusing a small number of large corporations of abusing grey areas in the law to achieve massive tax avoidance, or influencing legislators to enable tax avoidance schemes.
It's not the same thing. As an actuarial with a class in religious studies I would have assumed you'd done the math.
