I find it ridiculous to bring this argument. Stupid in fact. Here is why:

He is a businessman and he must do whatever everybody else are doing n order to stay competitive. He can not single himself out and do it more expensive out of his heart.
And at the same time he can want to stop it, but for everybody, not just for himself and lose competitive edge.

Another simple example to make my point: I own a micro business, when I am doing taxes I use one loophole to save on them, but I see that it is ripping the country and I would love it closed. But until it is done I am not going to volunteerly not use it because that means I am paying more than my competitors who all use it.

So lets say I run for office, say that we should close that loophole and if crockett says "hey, but you use that loophole yourself" I just say yeah, so what? Both using loophole and advocating closing of it can perfectly go hand in hand and there is nothing strange or dishonest.
