What part do you object to? It all sounds reasonable to me.

He's suggesting that we expand upon all of these tax credits which distort the economy and hide the pain caused by taxation in general thus making it difficult to lower the income tax rate.

Tax credits don't make it difficult to lower the income tax; that's an excuse.

I liked the title.  Personally, I'd like to see the tax rate lowered--to 0%. X3

From a libertarian perspective, the goal should be no taxes whatsoever. To that end, any decrease in taxes or tax rates is a good thing and any increase is a bad thing and any increase in tax deductions or credits is a good thing and any decrease is a bad thing. No matter whom it benefits, no matter why the government does it, no matter who lobbied for it, no matter who supports or doesn't support it, no matter how temporary it might be, and no matter how much complexity it adds to the tax code.

Sounds right to me.

They're constantly looking for excuses to raise the damned taxes. Any decrease should be seen as a miracle at this rate.
