Would You Let the I.R.S. Prepare Your Taxes? (2015)

There are also 1.2 million tax preparers in the US. I'm not going to vote for somebody who has the wrong opinion on, e.g., abortion just because they're going to make my taxes easier but if the change to taxes was going to eliminate my job I'd feel differently.

Also, the complex nature of the US tax code means that the people who've put effort into gaming the system and the dishonest also stand to lose if move to a more reasonable system.

So it's really not just about the campaign contributions but actual substantial interest groups.

You can't have a right or wrong opinion, its just an opinion.

Of course you can. It's a matter of perspective. From your viewpoint, someone else that has an opposing opinion has the "wrong" opinion. That's what GP was saying.

Maybe it would have been clearer if they said "position" instead?

It appears your opinion on the matter is wrong.

It's just a manner of expression, they simply mean someone they disagree with.
